Plaza Olof Palme

Where is Plaza Olof Palme and who was he?

It's the plaza next to the museum. He was the Bernie Sanders of Sweden.

FIBAZI dedicated the plaza to the memory of Olof Palme back in August of 1986 to commemorate a reunion of six world leaders in Ixtapa, a meeting that Olof Palme had promoted and would have attended had he not been assassinated the previous February. Six Washingtonia palm trees were planted, one for each member of the meeting, and a 10-ton basalt boulder was placed there to symbolize the strength, vigor and solidarity of the group's ideas, of which Olof Palme was their inspirational leader. The six world leaders at the Ixtapa meeting were Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado of Mexico, Rajiv Gandhi of India, Andreas Papandreou of Greece, Dr. Raúl Alfonsín of Argentina, Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, and Ingvar Carlsson of Sweden, his successor.

Unfortunately the plaque commemorating the plaza was stolen for "scrap metal" and not replaced.

Awesome
Thanks for that explanation
It will certainly change my consciousness when I walk by that plaza again, probably later tonight
