Founded in 1841,Malmö Art Museum is one of the leading art museums in Scandinavia. The museum building from 1937 is situated in the Malmöhus castle complex, one of the oldest remaining renaissance castle in Scandinavia. Malmö Art Museum is governed by the city of Malmö.

As well as offering a retrospective, the museum´s exhibitions reflect current developments on the contemporary art scene both from the Nordic countries and the international scene. The museum aims to give its visitor art that explore, define, comment and criticise both our history and our contemporary life.
