Wallenberg, Berit :: arkeolog

Object description

Berit Wallenberg (1902–1995) was a Swedish archaeologist, art historian, photographer and philanthropist. On 19 November 1955 she founded the Berit Wallenberg Foundation with a donation of 406,000 Swedish kronor.[1] Her interest was old mural paintings in churches; she participated in many archaeological excavations in Sweden. She was also passionate with the study of cultural heritage, in Sweden and abroad. She was active in the local heritage association in Lovö (west of Stockholm) and she was involved in the restoration of her parish church at Lovö Island in 1935.[2]

She was daughter of Oscar Wallenberg[3] (1872–1939) and Beatrice Keiller, and cousin of Raoul Wallenberg's father Raoul Oscar Wallenberg.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
