The investigation has a number of proposals on how the 100 works should be spread. The main proposal is that a foundation should be established, which will drive a "multidimensional digital portal", reports Magasin K.
According to the investigation's proposal, the foundation will receive a basic capital of 150 million - which will be taken from the General Inheritance Fund. As a consequence, it is stated that the fund in the future will have fewer resources to "grant support to non-profit organizations' projects".
Additionally, it is proposed that 20 million should be earmarked in the cultural budget over a three-year period (2026-2028) for county museums and other regional cultural heritage actors to spread the canon.
The committee also believes that the cultural canon should be spread in a "people's edition" of 5,000 books, at a cost of 500,000 kronor, and that a temporary website should convey knowledge about the canon until the foundation is in place, with a price tag of two million over a three-year period. The money is proposed to be taken from the cultural budget. Another of the proposals is that a permanent canon exhibition should be produced and displayed at the Nordic Museum.
The production of the cultural canon has a budgeted cost of 8 million kronor for 2024-2025.
According to the committee's secretary, Eric Arborén Åström, the actual cost will be lower.
Correction: It is 20 million kronor that will be earmarked from the state cultural budget over three years.
The figure of 8 million kronor for the production of the canon applies to the budget framework.
