context_page_description: The Queen Sonja Art Stable is a museum, art gallery and concert hall located in the former stables of the Royal Palace in Oslo.
context_section_description: The stable building, located close to the palace park, was constructed simultaneously as the Royal Palace and was completed in 1849. Originally,  the stables could house 38 horses, but the compound was considerably  expanded and improved during the reign of King Haakon VII, and his equestrian wife Queen Maud. Between 1905 and 1911, the stables were built into an equestrian facility with a riding hall, blacksmith and a veterinary area. Architect Hjalmar Welhaven led the expansion project while Queen Maud took the initiative to model the improved stable hall after the Royal Mews in London.
