A weather-secured visitor destination for all days
Culture, history and experiences on Norrbyskär – regardless of weather
About the project
The project will develop Norrbyskär's museum into a more accessible and weatherproof destination with a longer season. In the building The Sawmill, a new free family exhibition will be created where children and adults can discover Norrbyskär's history. The exhibition will function without a guide and make it easier for schools to use the museum as a learning environment. At the same time, energy-efficient heating solutions will be installed in the museum's main building and the new exhibition space. This allows the operation to receive visitors during larger parts of the year and also during cold and rainy days. The goal is to make Norrbyskär's cultural heritage accessible to more and create an attractive destination for culture, nature, and learning during more parts of the year.
”We want to make Norrbyskär's history accessible to more – regardless of weather, season, or prior knowledge.”
