Statens försvarshistoriska museer (SFHM) is a museum in Stockholm that focuses on the impact of war on society and culture. The institution aims to provide insights into how conflicts shape cultural heritage, with particular attention to the ongoing situation in Ukraine. SFHM has hosted conferences dedicated to strengthening the protection of Ukraine's cultural heritage and has incorporated themes of total defense into high school curricula.
In addition to its educational initiatives, SFHM is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, reflecting on the organization's role in global peace and security. The museum is currently undergoing a process of phasing out its operations, which includes a planned name change. SFHM has also organized activities for the preparedness week in 2025 and is concluding with the exhibition "Korsvägar," which serves as a closing event for its current programming. Insights from museum directors regarding the effects of war on cultural heritage are part of the museum's ongoing discourse.
