“Our work coincides with SVT’s goal with the series, to reach widely and arouse interest in history. With us, you can listen to interesting lectures, meet experts and see many of the objects shown in the programs. In addition, we are opening a brand new exhibition for children with adults in December,” says Magnus Hagberg, superintendent at the State Historical Museums, in a press release.
Historians, archaeologists and experts from the State Historical Museums participate and many objects from the collections are shown in the programs. Seven museums are part of the authority: The Economic Museum – The Royal Coin Cabinet, The Hallwylska Museum, The Historical Museum, Livrustkammaren, Skokloster Castle, Sweden’s Museum of the Holocaust and Tumba Bruksmuseum.
SVT’s “The History of Sweden” consists of ten parts and is based on reconstructions of historical events and visualizes people from the Ice Age to the present day.
