Oppstuhage, Arvika, Sweden - SpottingHistory

Haget, Christian Eriksson’s childhood home in Taserud, is scenically located within walking distance of downtown Arvika. The building was built in 1894 as the home and studio of Eriksson. It has been renovated and extended to include two exhibit wings that teem with works of art.

The house now serves as the museum’s entrance and café. Architect Rune Falk designed the museum. King Carl-Gustaf XVI officiated at the opening ceremonies on June 18, 1993.

Historic Site of the week

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
