Guided tours or Workshop sessions
Bring your students and use the museum as your classroom! Experience an inspiring and dynamic environment, discover new perspectives. The permanent collection and temporary exhibitions can be used for studies in several subjects relating to the school curriculum. Book a guided tour of the Moderna Museet collection or the temporary exhibitions.
Seeing and discussing art stimulates the students’ ability to analyse what they see. In the encounter with art they practise putting thoughts into words, listening to others and daring to think critically. Moderna Museet offers students the opportunity to understand themselves and their world better through art. Here they can learn about the art in the museum collection and the historical and cultural context that engendered it.
We also offer inspiring Workshop sessions. In a Workshop session the students get to work both practically and theoretically. Taking a specific idea, issue or theme in an artistic oeuvre or a particular work of art as our starting point, we work in groups on conceptual, explorative and process-oriented projects.

Stockholm 16 March 2013 - 8 September 2013
“The incomparable Karl Holmqvist,” Rirkrit Tiravanija calls his colleague and friend in a coming portrait film, and Karl Holmqvist (b 1964) certainly is like no one else. But that does not mean that his works were created in, or portray, their own, isolated universe. On the contrary, quotes, echoes, repetitions and revisions – input and output – ...

Ulla Wiggen (b. 1942) is an artist with a fastidious and highly idiosyncratic output. During 1964-1969, she made only some 30 paintings, most of which represent the interior of various electronic devices. Some are straight-forward depictions, revealing existing connections, others are her own combinations of components from different sources.

In 1960, Niki de Saint Phalle aimed a loaded shotgun at her own work and pulled the trigger. Encapsulated bags of paint under a layer of plaster exploded and made the works bleed like a human being. These ShootingPaintings (Tirs) were widely acknowledged, and Niki de Saint Phalle developed them into large-scale reliefs and altarpieces against the ...

Artists in the UK and the USA had been challenging established traditions and hierarchical structures ever since the 1950s, with a new ...
