Malmö museums

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 collections were first established on the castle grounds in 1841 and have grown over more than 180 years. During World War II, sections of the site briefly served as shelter for people fleeing conflict in the region.

The collections showcase Nordic art and paintings from different periods that reflect the region's cultural heritage. Visitors can see how maritime traditions and technical innovations shaped local identity and daily life over time.

The site is expansive and requires time to explore the different exhibition areas at a comfortable pace. It helps to get an overview map upon arrival or book a guided tour to navigate the collections efficiently.

A working submarine can be explored from the inside and offers a rare glimpse into conditions beneath the surface. This vessel installation is among the few accessible examples of Swedish naval engineering available to visitors.
