Malmö Art Museum, Art museum in Malmö Castle complex, Sweden.
Description
Malmö Art Museum occupies spaces within Malmö Castle and holds around 40,000 artworks spanning from the Renaissance to today across multiple exhibition galleries. The collections feature Nordic and European pieces displayed throughout rooms within the castle grounds.
History
The museum was founded in 1841 and moved to its present building within the castle grounds in 1937. This relocation allowed the collections to be displayed in purpose-built spaces and established the institution in its current home.

Russian paintings displayed here show how the region connected artistically with Eastern Europe during the early 20th century.
