Weatherproof destination For all days

Accessible learning and sustainable visitor experiences

About the project

The project will develop Norrbyskär as a more accessible and sustainable destination by creating a weather-safe, free, and family-friendly exhibition that makes the island's history accessible to more. Through an interactive and educational exhibition, children, families, and school groups will be able to discover and understand Norrbyskär's cultural history on their own, regardless of weather or access to guides. The project also includes the development of educational material as well as, for extending the season and improving the visitor experience, installationof a heating solution. Through the initiative, new cultural experiences, improved service, and more reasons to visit the island year-round are created. 

”We want to show how nature and cultural heritage are interconnected.”
