Beneath the ornate Royal Hall of Stockholm's castle lies the Treasury, a museum opened in 1970 to replace centuries of keeping the royal regalia hidden and out of sight. The king's crowns, swords, and specific items such as Gustav Vasa's sword, Karl XI's silver font used during royal baptisms, Sveno-tapet, and other valuable objects are exhibited behind vaulted walls and intricate glasswork. The vault's entrance is hidden in the southern castle vault, a well-kept secret hinted at only by a subtle door.
