Journalist Birgitta Rubin criticizes a proposal to relocate the Mediterranean Museum (Medelhavsmuseet) and the East Asian Museum (Östasiatiska museet) into the premises of the Ethnographic Museum (Etnografiska museet). Rubin asserts the plan aligns with the Moderate Party’s neoliberal cultural policy. She believes a co-location of these institutions was predetermined from the outset. The proposal is characterized as rushed and ill-considered. This assessment suggests a lack of thorough planning and a potentially politically motivated decision regarding Stockholm’s museum landscape. Rubin’s commentary raises concerns about the future of cultural institutions within the current political climate in Sweden.
