Landskrona konsthall, Modernist art gallery in Landskrona, Sweden

Landskrona Konsthall is a long, single-storey modernist building on Slottsgatan, designed by Sten Samuelson and Fritz Jaenecke and opened in 1963. Its flat roof is a thin pale slab carried on evenly spaced square light-coloured columns, with a deep overhang above alternating dark glass panels and opaque sections. A thin dark railing runs along the floor level, and a short metal-railed staircase at the right end leads to the entrance platform.

Landskrona konsthall opened in 1963 as an art-industry exhibition venue for the city's 550th anniversary. Architects Sten Samuelson and Fritz Jaenecke designed it as a pure example of Swedish post-war modernist architecture. A permanent sculpture collection, Kaptensgårdens skulpturpark, was added beside the hall in 1997.

The gallery presents works by Swedish and international artists through rotating exhibitions and installations. You can experience contemporary art that changes regularly throughout the year.

The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from midday to early evening. It sits within a castle park, so visitors can easily explore the surrounding green spaces before or after viewing the exhibitions.

Since 1997 the gallery has had a permanent sculpture collection, Kaptensgårdens skulpturpark, with around 20 works by 19 sculptors, among them Ulla Viotti, Claes Hake, Staffan Nihlén and Pål Svensson. The pieces came through donations, and the park can be visited without entering the building.
