Description
The Collection of King Gustav III includes drawings by Gustav III himself, as well as those by other renowned architects, which accompanied Gustav IV Adolf during his exile in 1809. The collection was returned to Sweden through a purchase in 1925 by the brothers Helge and Axel Ax:son Johnson and was inherited by Axel's daughter, Marie-Claire. It is currently stored at Engelsberg's Ironworks and is owned by the Marie-Claire Cronstedt Foundation.
The drawings were created by Sweden's leading architects during the 17th and 18th centuries. They include depictions of prominent sites such as the castles and gardens at Drottningholm, Ekolsund, Haga, Gripsholm, Karlberg, Ulriksdal, Svartsjö, Stockholm, and Uppsala. Some sketches are even attributed to Gustav III himself.
