Malmö Art Museum, Art museum in Malmö Castle complex, Sweden.
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.
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.
The collection emphasizes Nordic artists and their work from across the region, including pieces by Carl Fredrik Hill and Anders Zorn that reflect the artistic traditions of Scandinavia. Russian paintings displayed here show how the region connected artistically with Eastern Europe during the early 20th century.
The exhibition spaces are well organized and easy to navigate for visitors exploring different areas of the museum. Guided tours and workshops are offered regularly to provide additional context about the displayed works.
The Herman Gotthardt Collection focuses on Scandinavian modern art from the 20th century and traces how Nordic artistic movements evolved over time. This private collection was assembled to showcase the range of artistic expression that developed across the northern region.
