Malmö museum

Malmö museum, Museum complex in Malmö, Sweden

The Malmö museums occupy the Malmöhus Castle grounds and house multiple exhibition areas across the site. The collections span maritime history, technology, natural sciences, and contemporary art displayed in separate buildings and galleries.

The museum began with a natural history collection assembled in 1841 by curate P. Ax. Hultman at Nya skolan, a private school he founded. The collection passed to the Scanian Natural History Museum in 1851, and the city took ownership in 1890. A new museum building opened in 1901, and in 1937 the museum moved to modern premises on Slottsholmen. In 1945 it briefly became a refugee camp for survivors brought by the White Buses.

The museum's name changed from Malmö Museer to Malmö museum on 12 April 2023. In the main entrance on Slottsholmen, a giraffe has been on display since 1937. The exhibition Welcome to Sweden covers the months in 1945 when the museum became a refugee camp for survivors of Nazi concentration camps brought by the Red Cross White Buses; one of the few remaining White Buses is shown outside Malmö Castle.

The museum is split between two main sites: Castle Island (Slottsholmen) and the Technology & Maritime Museum. The Wisdome 360° dome cinema opened in the latter on 22 April 2023. The museum had 633,152 visitors in 2023, so allow time for queues at busy periods.

The submarine U3, on show at the Technology & Maritime Museum, is a decommissioned vessel rather than a working one; visitors walk through its interior. It is one of the museum's permanent basic exhibitions, alongside the Boat Playroom and Without Land in Sight.
