The building
Malmö
Moderna Museet was founded in 1958 on the island Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. It was housed in the neighbouring Drill Hall until the current building, designed by the Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, was inaugurated in 1998. Skeppsholmen is strongly connected to Moderna Museet. It is an exciting, scenic archipelago island of great historical and cultural significance – right in the middle of the capital city.
Moderna Museet’s graphic profile, created by Stockholm Design Lab, is based on the American artist Robert Rauschenberg’s handwriting. It is visible on the museum’s facade and some interior walls, and of course on signs and products.
