MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MODERNA MUSEET)
Go there and contact
A must for art lovers, with a superb permanent collection, well located for a cultural walk.
Nestled in a long, single-storey building from the industrial era, this museum of modern art enjoys a worldwide reputation. It was here that the famous Andy Warhol exhibited his work for the first time in Europe. In addition to a range of temporary exhibitions, the museum boasts the country's largest collection of modern art. Around 6,000 paintings, sculptures and installations, 25,000 watercolors and drawings, and a fine collection of almost 100,000 photographs. The collection includes works by Picasso, Matisse, Salvador Dalí, Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg, to name but a few. The museum was strongly supported by the Swedish government, which a few years ago contributed SEK 5 million to support women artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Susan Hiller, whose works were added to the collection. You can also discover an abundance of works by Swedish artists to familiarize yourself with modern Nordic art. The collection extends beyond the indoor exhibition spaces. Open-air works are scattered across the island of Skeppsholmen, including sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle and Pablo Picasso, making the island a superb destination for a cultural stroll. The museum also offers temporary exhibitions (see their website for program). There's also a restaurant with a superb view of the city!
