Gothenburg Museum of Art, Art museum in Götaplatsen, Gothenburg, Sweden
The Gothenburg Museum of Art displays Nordic and international art across six floors housed in a monumental building at Götaplatsen square. The galleries feature spacious layouts that allow visitors to view works in a calm setting.
The museum was established in 1861 and moved to its present neoclassical building in 1923. Architect Sigfrid Ericson designed the structure with grand exhibition halls that continue to house the collection today.
The collection displays works by Nordic artists like Edvard Munch alongside international masters such as Rembrandt, Monet, and Picasso. These pieces span five centuries and show how artistic movements traveled across regions and generations.
The museum opens from 11:00 to 17:00 on most days, with extended hours until 20:00 on Wednesdays. It helps to check ahead about current exhibitions to plan which sections interest you most.
The Fürstenberg Gallery holds Sweden's largest collection of Nordic fin-de-siècle art, originally donated by wealthy Gothenburg merchant Pontus Fürstenberg. These works were long overlooked and are now recognized as a key treasure of the museum.
