ABOUT SWEDISH ACQUISITIONS 2021

The major initiative “Swedish acquisitions 2021” was launched after the government allocated SEK 25 million to Moderna Museet to support the Swedish art sector in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic.

The project led to the acquisition of 373 new works made in 1962–2021 by a total of 169 artists.
