Magasin III, Contemporary art museum in Stockholm, Sweden
Magasin III occupies a converted customs warehouse on the Stockholm waterfront, with large exhibition spaces dedicated to displaying international contemporary artworks.
Established in 1987 by Swedish art collectors, the museum has developed an extensive collection while supporting artists through its Magasin III Productions initiative.
The museum serves as a central platform for contemporary art discourse through exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions, and educational programs throughout the year.
The museum has temporarily suspended its public exhibition program to focus on collection analysis and maintains digital archives accessible through their website.
Artists receive opportunities to create site-specific installations within the spacious warehouse environment, transforming the industrial space into experimental art venues.

Private art museums and galleries of international importance offer direct access to significant contemporary collections. These institutions, operated by foundations, collectors, or corporations, present works outside the traditional public museum landscape. Many of these venues occupy converted industrial buildings, historic residences, or purpose-built structures that connect art with architecture. The selection includes establishments such as Benesse Art Site Naoshima on the Japanese island of Naoshima, where museum buildings by Tadao Ando house works by contemporary artists. Dia:Beacon, north of New York City, displays minimalist and conceptual art in a former 1920s Nabisco factory. In Berlin, Sammlung Boros opens its doors in a converted World War II bunker. Additional examples include Fondation Beyeler in Basel with works of classical modernism, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art north of Copenhagen overlooking the Øresund strait, and Museo Jumex in Mexico City for Latin American contemporary art.
