Norrköping art museum

The Norrköping Art Museum is an art institution that showcases modern and contemporary artworks across multiple galleries, with permanent displays and rotating presentations throughout the year. The spaces present both established and newly acquired works that cover artistic diversity across different periods.

The museum was established in 1946 and grew from a small municipal gallery into a major cultural institution. Over the decades, it became a force in documenting Sweden's artistic evolution while continuously expanding its collections.

The museum displays over 100 artworks across public spaces in Norrköping, including sculptures by Ernst Billgren, Cecilia Edefalk, and Eric Grate. These pieces shape the city's character and invite visitors to encounter art while walking through the streets.

The first two galleries are free to enter, allowing visitors to explore part of the collection without admission fees. The museum café offers refreshments on weekends, making extended visits more comfortable.

The museum received the award 'Åretsmuseum' from the Swedish Museums Association and ICOM in 2021. This recognition honors its work in art education and public engagement.
