Stockholm Music Museum

In 1932 the museum, in the form of a trust, was associated with the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and received a state grant.

The state became increasingly responsible for the museum, which in 1981 became part of a new public body–The Swedish National Collections of Music.

The Crown Bakery dates from the 17th century, and is Stockholm’s oldest industrial building.

This building has a long and eventful history and has through the centuries performed a number of functions: bakery, weapon depot, spirits store.

In 1945 the building was ravaged by a fire which destroyed its upper floors in the northern part–where the Concert Hall is now located.
