During last year had Skansen; 1.369431 visitor, it's a reduction of 7689 visitor compared with last year. Landets museer slog nytt besöksrekord 2016 – Sveriges Museer The new ''Baltic sea information center'' was started to be buildt in November last year.
Yes, it will include an aquarium and a science center. I have written some information about it in #1.
according to zootierliste skansen now houses european pond turtles. Does anyone know anything about this.
Any idea what species will be housed in the Baltic aquarium? This has nothing to do with the Aquarium already on the waterfront further down from the Vasa Museet?
The pond turtles are housed in Lill-Skansen, the Children Zoo. Next to small domestic animals, it includes enclosures for native rodents, snakes, lizards and amphibians, as well as the critically endangered Australian swift parrot (quite odd that this species is kept here, but it's part of a breeding program). The opening of the Baltic Sea Centre was scheduled for Autumn 2018, so I hoped to visit it this week. However, constructions are still taking place and the opening is postponed to Spring 2019. It is something different than the Aquaria Vattenmuseum, that was closed permanently last week (to my unluck).
Skansen put down their last 4 wolves some days ago and will not get new ones. The enclosure will most likely house arctic foxes in the future, potentially already from spring 2022.
