In her speech on Saturday evening at Järvaveckan in Spånga, northwest Stockholm, she set out the idea.

"I want to see a special educational initiative so that students in disadvantaged areas can visit Sweden's most important museums and cultural institutions, because these should not be places reserved for those who already grow up with well-stocked bookshelves and well-educated parents," Simona Mohamsson said.

As examples, she mentioned visiting the Holocaust Museum, seeing Hamlet at the Drama Theatre, or experiencing Swan Lake at the Opera.

Around 165,000 children live in areas of exclusion, according to Mohamsson.
