About

Malmö Konsthall is one of Europe’s largest spaces for contemporary art, known for its distinctive architecture and ambitious exhibition programme. Designed by architect Klas Anshelm and opened in 1975, the hall is characterised by its minimalist concrete structure, high ceilings, and generous natural light that creates an ideal environment for large‑scale installations and experimental works. The museum hosts an ever‑changing roster of international and Swedish artists, presenting exhibitions that range from conceptual and multimedia art to sculpture, painting, and performance. Its open, flexible layout encourages visitors to move freely and experience art in a spacious, contemplative setting. With its adjoining restaurant and active public programme, Malmö Konsthall stands as a vibrant cultural venue that continues to shape the city’s contemporary art scene.
