According to sources, the Swedish Museum of Natural History has been collecting environmental samples and freezing them for over 60 years. The museum needs a new freezer because the existing two are full. Two rented freezer containers are standing in the courtyard until the issue is resolved.
The issue will be resolved when money comes in from the state or from external donors. The exact amount of funding required for the new freezer has not been disclosed, and it is unclear when the funding is expected to be secured. " The specific types of environmental samples in the collection have not been detailed.
It is such a treasure that we simply cannot afford to lose.
