National Historical Museums (SHMM) in Sweden is a central museums agency comprising the Museum of National Antiquities, the Royal Coin Cabinet and Tumba Papermill Museum. The agency administers culture heritage and provides a perspective on our existence in order to strengthen the democratic development of society. We are currently working on changing and improving our operations with a view to becoming the best museums of cultural history in the Nordic region.
