Climate art at the Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is part of the light festival Nobel Week Lights, which lights up Stockholm December 3-11. The southern vault of the Royal Palace will be the site of the artwork Gaia by Luke Jerram. In Greek mythology, Gaia is the earth personified, in Swedish Mother Earth. The globe, which measures seven meters in diameter, is created from images taken from NASA photographs of the Earth's surface. Artist Luke Jerram has been inspired by the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for "its efforts to build and disseminate greater knowledge of human-caused climate change, and to lay the foundations for the actions needed to counteract such change". The artwork aims to inspire reverence for the planet we live on and encourage environmental awareness.

At Youtube of The Royal Palaces
The film, which is also shown on site in Museum Tre Kronor, depicts how the castle building develops, from defensive castle to the Renaissance castle Tre Kronor, which was destroyed in a violent fire in 1697 and then the construction of today's Royal Palace.

King's Guards Battalion at its social media:
"End for Christmas in the Royal Chapel. Every year the Battalion has a Christmas prayer in the Royal Chapel at the Stockholm Palace. There, the regimental chaplain from the Lifeguard started the morning together with music from the Dragoon Music Corps. During the ceremony, battalion commander Camilla Sjöhlén gave a speech about the Life Guards, the King's Guard Battalion and its history. Subsequently, employed personnel were awarded and promoted. We wish you all a really nice and happy Christmas!"

The winner of the Nobel Week Lights photo competition 2022: Alexander Assal • @assal.fotograf
Nobel Week Lights Stockholm is an annual light festival that takes place during Nobel Week in December. Directly inspired by Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, works of art illuminate Stockholm's darkness. The works encourage new insights into Nobel laureates' research, lives and discoveries. In connection with the light festival, a photo competition is also organized where spectators have the opportunity to compete. The 2022 winner was photographer Alexander Assal, who won by a large margin with his atmospheric image of the artwork GAIA inside the Royal Palace. The artwork GAIA is created by Luke Jerram from England.
A big congratulations on the win Alexander! Tell us about your winning image.
I wanted to show Gaia, one of my favorite places during the Nobel Light Weeks. I love how the earth is framed by the Palace walls and stairs. I went there with my daughter Safiyyah and was there over 1 hour looking for compositions. I chose Africa on the map because that part of the globe looked the best and wasn't covered by too much cloud.
