You're standing at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Take a look at the building first. It was designed by architect Axel Anderberg and completed in 1916, topped with a dome. As of 2014 it was the largest museum building in Sweden. This area is called Frescati, and the main campus of Stockholm University was only built later, right next door.
