Moderna Museet

Moderna Museet is an art museum on Skeppsholmen island with multiple floors displaying international contemporary art collections. The galleries feature paintings, photographs, prints, and sculptures across different exhibition spaces.

The museum was founded in 1958 and moved to its current building in 1998, designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. The structure was created to complement the island's maritime setting.

The collection features work by Picasso, Dalí, and Matisse alongside Swedish modernists, shaping how visitors understand art history. These pieces reflect how different cultures and movements shaped modern art.

Visit during late afternoon to avoid crowds and experience the galleries more comfortably. The site is easily walkable with clear signage throughout the exhibition spaces.

The Pontus Hultén Study Gallery lets visitors explore hundreds of artworks through digital screens without overwhelming the physical collection. This system provides access to pieces that are normally kept in storage.
