Free admission to certain state museums

Ministry of Culture ,
22 September 2015, Sweden

Following an agreement with the Left Party, the Government proposes that, starting in 2016, the appropriation for state museums be raised by SEK 80 million to introduce free admission at certain state museums.

The Government considers that equal access to our shared cultural heritage should be seen as a democratic right and that it is important for as many people as possible to feel that the museums are there for them.

The reform introducing free admission to state museums that was implemented in 2005 and 2006 enabled many more groups in society to have access to our shared cultural heritage. It is now time once again to open up state museums for everyone.
