You're standing at the Nationalmuseum, Sweden's largest art museum, on the Blasieholmen peninsula in the heart of Stockholm. Take a look at the façade. It's clad in Swedish limestone, in a style inspired by the Renaissance of northern Italy. German architect Friedrich August Stüler designed the building. He also designed the Neues Museum in Berlin.
