She will reach her 67th birthday, the mandatory age of retirement in Sweden, next year. At the age of fifty her successor may on the other hand be set for a long term as leader of the museum.

I very much enjoyed visiting this gem of a museum a few years ago. I wish the new head a successful stewardship and recommend that any of your readers who have not been there make an effort to visit.
