The [[regalia of Sweden]] are kept deep in the vaults of the {{ill|Treasury of Sweden|sv|Skattkammaren|lt=Treasury chamber}} ({{langx|sv|Skattkammaren}}), located underneath the [[Royal Palace in Stockholm]], in a museum which has been open to the public since 1970. Among the oldest objects in the collection are the sword of [[Gustav Vasa]] and the crown, orb, sceptre and key of [[King Erik XIV]]. The Regalia is state property and the government authority which holds it in trust is the [[Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency]].<ref name="History, The Treasury"/><ref name="Regal symbols"/>

The last king to have been crowned was [[Oscar II]]. His son and successor, [[Gustaf V]], abstained from having a coronation.<ref name="History, The Treasury"/> While the crowns and coronets have not been worn by Swedish royalty since 1907, they are nevertheless still displayed on royal occasions such as at weddings, [[Swedish_royal_baptisms|christenings]] and funerals. Until 1974, the crown and sceptre were also displayed on cushions beside the [[Silver Throne]] at the annual solemn opening of the [[Riksdag]] ({{langx|sv|Riksdagens högtidliga öppnande}}).<ref name="History, The Treasury">{{cite web|url=http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/royalpalaces/theroyalpalace/thetreasury/history.4.396160511584257f21800011991.html|title=History, The Treasury|publisher=[[Royal Court of Sweden]]|access-date=2014-02-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140603222521/http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/royalpalaces/theroyalpalace/thetreasury/history.4.396160511584257f21800011991.html|archive-date=3 June 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Regal symbols">{{cite web|url=http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/monarchy/regalsymbols.4.396160511584257f2180001975.html|title=Regal symbols|publisher=[[Royal Court of Sweden]]|access-date=2014-02-23|archive-date=3 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203211617/http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/monarchy/regalsymbols.4.396160511584257f2180001975.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/royalpalaces/theroyalpalace/thetreasury.4.396160511584257f2180002742.html|title=The Treasury|publisher=[[Royal Court of Sweden]]|access-date=2014-02-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140603173313/http://www.kungahuset.se/royalcourt/royalpalaces/theroyalpalace/thetreasury.4.396160511584257f2180002742.html|archive-date=3 June 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
