In September 2006, a memorial stone dedicated to Burton at the Gyllene Rasten restaurant/bar in Dörarp (outside Ljungby) was unveiled. It was 20 years earlier that Cliff died just over the road from where Gyllene Rasten is located.

 

According to Guitar World, the museum will include pictures, albums, posters and tickets, along with interviews and photos from the first photographer at the crash site, Lennart Wennberg of the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

There will also be a film of recollections from first responders at the crash scene as well as a stage that recreates METALLICA's last performance with Burton in Stockholm, with copies of the bass and drum kit he and drummer Lars Ulrich used, plus a poster with Burton's last autograph.

 

Ljungby historian Krister Ljungberg, who is involved in opening the museum, told SVT in 2021 that he had received message of support from METALLICA fans from around the world. Among them was a video from fans in Mexico who asked how they could help build the museum.

 

"I'm not a huge fan of METALLICA, but I usually say that I'm the biggest fan of METALLICA fans," Ljungberg said. "I really love these people; they are absolutely amazing."

 

A newly started association, Bergabygden's culture and tourism, was awarded SEK 300,000 (approximately $32,000) from the Swedish National Heritage Board, a government agency responsible for world heritage sites and other national heritage monuments and historical environments, to help start the museum.

 

The museum's launch event will take place on Saturday, May 14.
