Tower Museum 1 (City Hall)

In Tornmuseet, Among other things, is to find the 7.6 meter high plaster model of Sankt Erik statue created by the brothers Gustav and Aaron Sandberg. This model was produced in the Blue Hall and it was meant to be placed at 67 m height of the tower in the middle of the clocks. A trial with a full size statue, made of a lighter material, showed that this project was not feasible. Tower top became an open observation deck. Sankt Erik was never made of durable material, but ended up instead as a plaster sculpture in the tower museum.
