| The
old meridian room From the old meridian that runs through this room local Stockholm time was determined well in to the 19th century. In 1900 Sweden adopted Greenwich Mean Time. In this room you can view planet models, based on an 18th century perception of the solar system. It is also the centre of a more modern model of the solar system, which stretches all the way down the Observatory Hill. |
