The Gustavianum in Uppsala was built for Uppsala University by Caspar van Panten from 1622 to 1625, according to the infobox and text. It was designed with lecture halls, printing halls and housing for students without means. The article names no style, materials or dimensions. Carl Hårleman renovated it in the 18th century.
In 1662 Olaus Rudbeck added a floor and an anatomical theatre under a cupola on the roof. It is now the second-oldest surviving anatomical theatre in the world. Anatomical use ended in the 1750s. The cupola then served as the university library until 1841, and later as a zoological museum. The theatre was restored to Rudbeck's design in 1955.
From 1778 to 1887 it was the main university building. It was converted into Museum Gustavianum in 1997, opened by King Carl XVI Gustaf, with five permanent exhibitions. It drew 82,539 visitors in 2016. The article gives no hours.
