Stockholm fire damages art, closes academy exhibition

A fire at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm caused smoke and water damage, forcing the early closure of the art school's graduation exhibition. The fire, originating in an electrical cabinet on Saturday, damaged the building and several older artworks. Authorities are investigating the cause, with the exhibition closing a week early due to the damage. Some artworks, including pieces by Julia Beck and Julius Kronberg, sustained minor smoke damage and require cleaning. The extent of the damage and the reopening timeline remain uncertain.
