The total financial loss related to the pandemic is estimated at SEK 52 million according to the budget documentation submitted to the government.

In addition, there are additional costs, including those caused by the pandemic.

“We are completely dependent on our public revenues.

The loss of income totally undermines the foundation's finances and leads to very large backlogs in the business, ”says Sanne Houby-Nielsen, director of the Nordic Museum Foundation in a press release.

The Nordic Museum also owns and operates Tyresö Castle, Julita Farm, the summer entertainment Svindersvik and Härkeberga Kaplansgård. The museum at Djurgården will not open until the end of March at the earliest.
