Yesterday, the Vasa Museum reopened after being closed for four months. But it's doing so with hand sanitizer, social distancing, and fewer visitors than usual.
– Finally, says deputy museum director Jenny Lind.
With a ceiling of a maximum of 500 visitors at a time, the Vasa Museum will now keep it open and corona-safe.
Previously, there were fears that the museum would have to close for good.
– But now we have received great support from the government, which we are very grateful for. That means we can at least make it through 2020, says Jenny Lind.
Regardless of whether there will be a second corona wave in the fall?
– Yes, but we are also dependent on our income. Previously we have been breaking even, so now we have been forced to raise the admission price for adults.
According to TT, there were 759 visitors during the first five hours on Wednesday. This can be compared to the 8,400 who paid admission on the same day last year.
