What is the Moderna Museet Collection? A wonderful way to travel in time, art and ideas. Here, you will find some of the world’s finest art, modern and contemporary, Swedish and international, including key works by the most prominent artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

SEE MORE OF THE COLLECTION!

In 2023, three new exhibitions will open, featuring iconic pieces and new discoveries from our collection of 140,000 works. To do this, we need to reinstall the art in three stages. Follow the process from the start, and come back several times a year, to see these narratives unfold.

Some of our galleries will have to be closed during this reorganising, however.

“Sleepless Nights – From the 1980s in the Moderna Museet collection” and “Pink Sails – Swedish modernism in the Moderna Museet Collection” are the first two exhibitions in this new arrangement.

The third exhibition, “Seven Rooms and a Garden: Rashid Johnson and the Moderna Museet collection” opens on 30 September.
