To the S. of the Berzelii Park is the Varendorf-Gata, with the
new *Synagogue (PL 39; E, 3), designed hy Prof. Seholander and
erected in 1870. — On the Blasieholms-Hamn, at the S. end of
the Kungsträdgård (Pl. E, F, 4), are situated the Grand Hotel
(p. SIS’), the National Museum (see p. 334), and several handsome
new private buildings.
From the Gustaf-Adolfs-Torg (p. 398) diverge several of the
most important streets in Stockholm, containing the best shops.
To the W. runs the busy Freds-Gnta, at the end of which, on the
right, is the Academie för de fria Konsterna (Pl. 1; D, 4), founded
in 1735 for the education of painters and sculptors. Near it is the
Post Office (PL 33 ; D, 4).
To the N.W. of the Freds-Gata runs the long and well-built
I)rotlning-Guta. nearly parallel with which is the important
Regér-ings-Gata, diverging from the Gustaf-Adolfs-Torg. Between these
streets lies the Brunkebergs- Torg (Pl. I), 3), which occupies
the site of a considerable sand-hill, removed to make way for this
market-place. In the Beridarebans-Gata, a little to the NAV.
of the Brunkebergs-Torg, is the Central Gymnastic Institution (PI.
17 ; D, 3), established in 1813 through the influence of P. //. Ling
(d. 1839). In the Master-Samuels-Gata, a few paces to the N.W.,
are the handsome Slöjdskola (PL 38 ; 1), 3), or Mechanical School,
containing a library and collection of models (adm., see p. 391),
and the Landlbruks-Academiens Museum, or Agricultural Museum
(adm., seep. 321). On the opposite side of the street, at the
corner of the Beridarebans-Gata, is the Landtbruks-Academiens
Bibliotek (PI. 2; library open on Wed. and 8at., 12-2). _
Between the Drottning-Gata and the Railway Station is situated
the Klara-Kyrka (Pl. D, 3), erected in 1751-53 after the
destruction by Are of an earlier church founded in 1285. It contains
sculptures by Sergel. (‘Klockare’, Klara Vestra Kyrkogatan 14 A.)
In the adjoining churchyard the poet Bellman (d. 1785; p. 344)
lies buried.
In the Drottning-Gata, about 7 min. to the N.W. of the
Klara-Kyrka, is situated the *Northern Museum (PI. 13 ; C, 2), a very
interesting collection of Scandinavian curiosities, founded by Dr.
Arthur Hazelius in 1873 and continually added to since. The
Museum is divided into several ‘Departments’, the oldest of which is
at Nos. 71 A & 71 C, Drottning-Gatan. The Main Department is at
Nos. 77-79, another section at No. 68. The attendants are women
in the picturesque costumes of Darlecarlia. Official illustrated
