Learn how Sweden's architects and designers mined antique and contemporary southern Europe for styles, techniques, and even artisans; how such marvels as the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Drottningholm, and King Gustav III's beloved Haga took shape and acquired their uniquely Swedish stamp. Step into the rich interiors where Sweden's kings and their consorts received state visitors, stored and displayed treasures, wrote letters and studied science, and laid their heads to sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe path of visitors to Sweden—scholars and laymen, travellers and armchair explorers alike—will be forever changed and expanded by this book.
