TITLE:
Viking Heritage - Feasibility Study

DATE:
APRIL 2000

ARTICLE CONTENT:

IK Foundation & Company has completed a feasibility study for The Viking Foundation in Sweden. The assignment included:
  • Historical / Scientific value
  • Concept & Project
  • Market
  • Finance
  • Legal
  • The project and society
  • Realisation
The study has now been completed and has concentrated on assessing how a considerable investment in the Viking heritage by an international public could be physically and financially organised.

The site, which is located in south Sweden, is expected to be completed by 2006. A total of £5,5 million has been budgeted to cover the costs for public buildings, exhibitions and the construction of Viking buildings and environment in keeping with the times - the latter includes a church.

The study includes a proposal and format for further decision making by the executive management of The Viking Foundation. The format will allow the Foundation to act in harmony with developments that were begun over 1000 years ago.
 
Lotta Jonson, general manager of the Viking Foundation in Sweden.
