Moments in Time: The Royal Palace of Stockholm Maria Gunnarsson

In Moments in Time: The Royal Palace of Stockholm, the doors open onto a world few ever get to see. Here we meet the people and discover the craftsmanship that keep the traditions of the Royal Palace alive every day.

This book offers a glimpse into spaces rarely, if ever, seen by the public. The result is a unique and personal picture of a place where history and the present meet in the course of everyday work. We witness formal audiences and follow the Royal Family as they go about their duties, but also venture into linen stores, workshops, and studios. Here we see the care, skill, and coordination underpinning every ceremony and every carefully prepared room. For those carrying out these tasks, even the smallest details matter, and knowledge is passed from one generation to the next. Stories and unexpected anecdotes allow us to discover aspects of the Palace that would otherwise remain unseen, while helping us get to know the people who work there and understand their roles.

Together, photographs and words create a portrait of the Palace as a royal home, a workplace, and a setting for official functions. We gain insight into the many activities that take place side by side, and how the Palaces cultural heritage is cared for. Moments in Time: The Royal Palace of Stockholm is a book about the ceremonial and the everyday, about splendour and precision – and, above all, about the people who keep the Palace alive.

Never before have life and work behind the scenes at the Royal Palace in Stockholm been documented so extensively in photographs. My hope is that this book will awaken curiosity about the buildings multifaceted history and the cultural heritage it holds.
