Free admission to museums in Sweden has failed to increase participation. Free admission was introduced in 2016 and will last until the end of the decade.
The cost of free admission has been increased to make up for the loss of the fee for free admission. The number of people visiting the museums has also increased as a result of the free admission scheme, says the head of the Swedish Institute for Culture and the Arts (SIC) The SIC says it is trying to find a way to increase the number of visits to museums.
