Our Thoughts Are With
We’re taking a moment to light two candles for Anders Petter Löfström and his wife Emma, who founded Sundbyberg in the late 1800s. Our thoughts also go out to the many kind people who have since worked tirelessly to build the proud town that Sundbyberg is today, and whose legacy we are all responsible for carrying forward.
"Every krona invested in a museum generates at least ten times as much socioeconomic value."
Thought of the Week
The association holds the collections that form the basis for an attractive museum. The City has the resources to run one. The question is how the City’s politicians and officials can be convinced that investing tax funds in a city museum is justified.
The report "Att belägga museers värde" ["Demonstrating the Value of Museums"] (City of Gothenburg, Department of Culture) offers answers, summarised on page 34. Well worth a read.
This Week’s Object from the Collections: Lorry’s Original Sign
Many people danced at Lorry back in the day – and some even met their life partner there. The dance hall is an important piece of modern cultural heritage for our town. That’s why the association purchased the original sign at auction, to preserve it for the future. The question is: what should we do with it now that the museum is being forced to close?
Let us know your thoughts. The citizens’ proposal "Save Sundbyberg City Museum" has unfortunately not sparked our politicians’ interest in this cultural heritage.
