The Army Museum in Stockholm will close in the spring of 2027 due to significant rent increases from the State Property Agency, which raises concerns about the cultural situation and the museum's future, despite management claiming that the move is about the need for new, purpose-built facilities. #Armémuseum #kulturarv #hyreshöjning (translated)

Dan Eriksson criticized Morgan Johansson (S) for claiming that the right-wing government forced the Army Museum to close. Eriksson wrote that Johansson should have directed his criticism instead at the fact that the state compensated the National Museum and the Historical Museum for increased rents, but not the Army Museum. According to Eriksson, the rents were set by the National Property Board, whose director general, Max Elger, had previously been the financial markets minister in Magdalena Andersson's government, responsible for the authority. He wrote that Elger had publicly defended the significantly increased museum rents in the spring and stated that the agency had no choice. Eriksson noted that market rents for state museums were introduced in 1993 and that the Social Democrats had been in power for twenty years since then without changing the model. He also wrote that the museum’s own management had decided on the closure. According to the chief curator, the rent increase triggered the decision, but was not decisive, as the museum wanted to move to larger premises anyway. Eriksson argued that Johansson's phrasing sounded like a campaign poster even three weeks after the election. He added that the Social Democrats could soon take over both the rent model and the director general, and wrote that it would then be interesting to see what the party cared about. #socialdemokraterna #musepolitik #högerregeringen (translated)
