- Every third museum in the country is going to cut staff and we also see that important historical cultural environments and houses do not receive the care needed to preserve the cultural heritage, says Jonas Hellberg (S), chairman of the County Administrative Council.

"Gone too far"

It is not just the ability to hire staff that is affected. For example, the savings will lead to fewer exhibitions at Kalmar County Museum 2020. Therefore, you want to see power take from the state.

- The state must take responsibility for the basic funding in a completely different way. It has been far too long with many years of savings, says Jonas Hellberg (S).

Sweden's largest museum

Together, the country's county museums - with over 3.2 million visitors each year - form Sweden's largest museum. You have a responsibility to make the county's cultural heritage accessible but also to convey the county's history.

On the other hand, how much money is needed from the state to save the situation is unclear.
