Gustav III' s Collection including his own and other famous architects' drawings, accompanied Gustav IV Adolf during his exile in 1809. The collection was returned to Sweden via a purchase in 1925 by the brothers Helge and Axel Ax:son Johnson and was inherited by Axel' s daughter Marie- Claire. It is today stored at Engelsberg' s Ironworks and is owned by the Marie-Claire Cronstedt Foundation. The drawings were made by Sweden' s leading architects during the 17thand 18th centuries and include, among others, the castles and gardens at Drottningholm, Ekolsund, Haga, Gripsholm, Karlberg, Ulriksdal, Svartsjoe, Stockholm and Uppsala. Even Gustav III' s own sketches are attributed.
Magnus Olausson is a lecturer, art historian and Head of Collections at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
