Skissernas Museum – Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art

Skissernas Museum is a collection of sketches and artworks in Lund that shows the development of artistic processes. The building contains exhibition rooms with preliminary studies, drawings, large paintings, and monumental plaster sculptures.

The museum was founded in 1992 and operates under Lund University to preserve artistic development processes through extensive collections. It emerged from a desire to document artists' work before their public presentation.

The museum preserves documentation of public art creation through its collection of preliminary studies and models developed across different artistic periods. Visitors observe how artists refined their ideas step by step before realizing their finished works in urban spaces.

The site offers guided tours through the exhibitions as well as temporary exhibitions that change regularly. The museum features an award-winning restaurant overlooking the Sculpture Park where visitors can take a break.

The museum houses one of the world's largest archives of sketches and models for public artworks, documenting the entire creative journey. This extensive material shows how artists work from the initial idea through to final implementation in public spaces.
