Malmö Museer

Top choice in Malmö


Located within the rambling Malmöhus Slott, operating under the broad banner (and one low admission fee) of the Malmö Museer, are three main museums within a museum: the Malmö Konstmuseum, Stadsmuseum and a large, unexpected Aquarium that's popular with younger visitors. Top billing goes to the Malmö Konstmuseum, which features a superb collection of Swedish furniture and handicrafts, plus a vast collection of 19th- and 20th-century Nordic art. There's a cafe and decent museum gift shop too.

The excellent Teknikens och sjöfartens hus is part of the collection but not located within the castle walls: it's about 300m to the west.
