Queen Christina of Sweden 400th anniversary commemorations

Overview

Various cultural institutions are organizing commemorations to mark the 400th anniversary of the birth of Queen Christina of Sweden.

In Sassuolo, Italy, a series of initiatives explores her historical and intellectual legacy, specifically focusing on her connection to the Estense Duchy. This includes a documentary exhibition at the Biblioteca Cionini titled ‘Maggio 1658: Cristina a Sassuolo. L’incontro segreto’, which examines a 1658 diplomatic meeting between the Queen and Duke Francesco I d’Este.

In Spain, the Museo del Prado has inaugurated a new permanent space in Room 74 of the Villanueva Building dedicated to her sculptural collection. The exhibition reunites seventeen classical marble works, such as ‘Sleeping Ariadne’ and various depictions of Athena and Venus, alongside a portrait by Sébastien Bourdon and the eight Muses she acquired in 1670.
