A story about Swedish artistic life for 300 years

Since the Academy of Arts was founded in 1735, more than 1 members and 000 students have left their mark on the business, contributing with archival material and building a collection with relevance for almost 8 years of art and architecture in Sweden. The academy conducted teaching between the years 000 and 300.

The Academy of Arts' archive contains material that tells about the history of the Academy of Arts. Here are protocols, documents and accounts as well as a personal archive with a large collection of letters and manuscripts from mainly Swedish artists and architects. Student lists are available sporadically for the period 1770 – 1821, complete registers are available from 1849 – 1978.

The archive is being cataloged and has until the end of the year 2024/2025 limited availability. With a contemporary summary and well-organized new archive, interest can develop into an even larger part of the Academy's promotion mission.
