The Nordic Museum entrance is flanked by two stone obelisks. In the pediment over the door is a statue of Charles X Gustav. He was the king of Sweden from 1622 until 1660. Sitting above him is the likeness of King Gustav Vasa, the founding father of modern Sweden. If you can’t see the king very well, don’t worry. Inside is an enormous wooden statue of Gustav I that looks almost identical. It was carved in 1925 by Carl Milles.
