SÖRMLANDS MUSEUM, NYKÖPING Sweden
Sörmland Museum is a regional museum with activities throughout Sörmland, Sweden. The museum wants to broaden people’s views and create involvement. After a thorough investigation, the Sörmland district council commissioned a new museum building. A creative meeting place for everyone. With space for exhibitions, events, courses, meetings, open collections and much more.
Storytelling open depot
The Sörmlands museum has chosen to move away from the usual style of presenting collections in a museum. Objects, photos and films are collected and displayed together to tell the stories of people, crafts, areas and events in different times and social contexts. The collection is constantly growing and changing to present knowledge and perspectives on society and history.
A unique, open depot
Bruynzeel had the honor of supplying most of its space creating solutions to Sörmlands Museum:
- Mobile shelving systems for the storage of furniture and other large items
- Cabinets of drawers for the storage of small to medium-sized objects
- Pallet racks for the storage of heavy objects
- Static painting racks for hanging objects
- Cabinets of drawers for the storage of textiles
- Sysco® racks for the storage of textiles and other objects
- Specially designed racks for the storage of bridal blankets and saddles
- Cabinets of drawers for the storage of flags
The story, the visibility of the collection and the demand for change have also placed new demands on the interior of the museum. Many new storage solutions have been created especially for the Sörmland Museum – from fully open mobile shelving to mobile cabinets, special clothing racks and transport carts for educational activities. This is unique in Sweden as well as internationally and is characteristic of the new Sörmlands Museum.
