Livrustkammaren
Description
Livrustkammaren is a museum located at Slottsbacken in the basement under the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The museum is part of the authority Livrustkammaren and Skokloster's castle with the Hallwyl Museum Foundation.
The Armory was originally the Swedish royal family's store of costumes, armor and weapons. The oldest existing inventory in which still preserved objects are housed is from 1548.
The foundation for what is today the museum was laid when King Gustav II Adolf in 1628 ordered that his clothes from the campaigns in Poland should be preserved "uthi Rust-Cammaren to an eternal memory".
This meant that the Armory was given more character as a historical collection. In the 1660s, parts of the collections were moved to Queen Kristina's gazebo and in the 1690s, these objects and remaining objects were moved from the castle to the palace Makalös, which was thus named "The Arsenal". The collections were then moved around between different places, including Fredrikshov's castle and Arvfursten's palace. During the 19th century, the armor chamber was united with the royal cloakroom, and the collections were returned to the castle in 1884, where they were exhibited until 1906, when they were moved and exhibited at the Nordic Museum.
In 1978, the collections moved back to the castle.
In 2003, the museum celebrated its 375th anniversary, and calls itself Sweden's oldest museum. (Wikipedia, 2014-08-28)

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
