Curatorial tour: The Art of Collecting

13.1 2026

Stockholm

Join a guided tour of “The Art of Collecting” with the exhibition’s curator, Asrin Haidari, and explore Moderna Museet’s recent Swedish and international acquisitions. The exhibition highlights the many dimensions of collecting and the decisions that shape the museum’s future collection.

Moderna Museet has one of Europe’s foremost collections of international modern and contemporary art. Over the past five years, over 2,000 artworks have been added to the collection. Around 40 of them – paintings, installations, video works and sculptures – are presented in “The Art of Collecting – Expanding the Moderna Museet Collection”.

The exhibition also raises questions about different ways of collecting art. Who decides what is purchased and why? Which artists, movements and stories are highlighted? And what impact do these decisions have on the museum’s future collections?
