The exhibition displays archaeological finds from the Viking Age, and pieces relating to the marriage between Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden and Grand Prince Yaroslav I Vladimirovich of Kiev. It also shows the political alliances made in the 17th and 18th centuries, for example Charles XII's alliance with the Cossack hetman (leader) Ivan Mazepa in the early 18th century, and in addition, pieces relating to the people of Gammalsvenskby and today's war situation.

  1. Bel ensemble de couleur marron foncé avec la touche imprimée du noeud Lavallière ; j'aime beaucoup la broche montrant les drapeaux suédois et ukrainiens au dessus de la carte de l'Ukraine ; j'aime beaucoup son sac à mains mais de quel créateur est-il ? !

      Think the suit and blouse are lovely but the length of the trousers with the low heeled pumps makes it look ‘older lady’ to me. However, minor quibble. At 80, she looks just fabulous.

    Wow ! what elegance for a 80 year old and she is not afraid to wear her classic pumps outside on a frozen ground. What a difference with Camilla who is wearing boots inside a warm palace room. Unless they have to slow down with the heating in all these old palaces.

      Camilla’s boots are fine! - she likes them, they match many outfits in winter - no stress! Sylvia enjoys other shoes - also fine. However if you look carefully at these beautiful shoes of hers you can see her older feet sitting poorly in these shoes, and as a podiatrist, I would say, you do not need to choose the shoes for fashion, but rather choose something wider with a round toebox for comfort and not to aggravate the poor foot. Fashion can be beautiful but should never hurt (and most particularly with our older queens who deserve comfort!(Grace)

      Silvia has style - beyond just being a king’s wife. And she has always been an elegant lady. The same thing cannot be said about Camilla - occasionally she gets it right, mostly for galas and pompous occasions, but rarely for the rest of her events. It is what it is…

    Both the Queen and the King look elegant from top to toe. The King's suits are always so very well tailored. The Queen can wear a color to perfection even though it's not the most happy color. Ac

    How cute, in the 2nd photo, at first glance it appeared as if the King was gingerly holding onto the Queen's purse. However looking carefully, its just a small illusion, but it did bring a smile to my face. Edwina

  13. Goodness, she looks so stylish and chic. I love this beautifully fitted pantsuit. The blouse is a good choice. Love the color of her accessories, perfect!

  14. The King's suit is perfection. I'm not a fan of the pussy bow on the Queen's blouse but the colors of her outfit work well together. A slightly mellower lip colour would modernize her whole look.

  15. They look so elegant together, they always do. She is a wonderful Queen always dressed appropriately for the occasion. Sweden you must very proud of your Queen.
