Here are the ten best art galleries in Malmö.

Malmö Konsthall

Malmö Konsthall is one of Europe’s largest exhibition halls for contemporary art, with architect Klas Anshelm creating the vast space to provide flexibility and fabulous light. Exhibitions have a decidedly international focus, with both modern art and experimental art in the spotlight.

One of Malmö’s oldest artist cooperatives, Galleri 21 got its start in 1985 in an old farmhouse, and in the ensuing years has become one of the most interesting spaces in the world exhibiting contemporary Nordic art. Galleri 21 is more than an art space: it’s also a meeting point and leader in Malmö’s cultural life, with lectures six to eight times a year, theater, music recitals and other events.
