The authority

The three museums the Royal Armoury, Skokloster Castle and The Hallwyl Museum constitute a National Authority, accountable to the Ministry of Culture. The Authority is headed by a Director General. The museums base their work on a national cultural policy resolution enacted by the Swedish Parliament. 

Our mission is to preserve our collections and contribute to a living and accessible cultural heritage.

Our organisation

The Royal Armoury

In 1628 King Gustavus Adolphus decided that the clothing that he had worn during his Polish campaign should be “preserved in the armoury as a permanent commemoration of the war”. This laid the foundations for the Royal Armoury, Sweden’s oldest museum.
