On 15 June 1861, the following appeal was published in the local newspaper
Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfarts-Tidning :
GotheNBurG museum.
A respectful invitation.
Whereas a plan has been devised, and is now in exe-
cution, that seeks to assemble and array in a muse-
um such collections that can illuminate the develop-
ment of our own land, be it in respect of archaeology
and ethnography, or in matters of the land’s animal
and plant life, its geological and mineralogical fea-
tures, etc., as what pertains to its industrial develop-
ment, and also foreign lands’ endeavours in these
areas; that can instill in us a greater interest in such
matters as science, public education, and industri-
ousness, so the Gothenburg museum Board here-
by respectfully invites each and every person who
recognises the importance of such collections, to
contribute gifts, be they large or small, within those
areas that in the agreed plan are more fully set forth.
the Board ought not to let it go unremarked, that in
this manner many a rarity can be saved from oblivion
and destruction, to be brought before the great
generality of living and later generations.
