Göteborg Museum of Art - Göteborg, Sweden - Art Museums on Waymarking.com

The Göteborg Museum of Art was built in 1919 to 1923 in connection with the Jubilee Exhibition. The Museum was designed by S. Ericson and A. Bjerke. In 1968 the museum had an extension built on. The architect was R. Falk. The new entrance, with new exhibition halls, were inaugurated in 1996 and the lattice at the entrance, in bronze and stainless steel, was designed by the sculptor Pål Svensson.
The museum has a Nordic emphasis but the collections also contain older Dutchand French art, including important works by Rembrandt, van Gogh, Monet and Picasso, to name a few.

The Göteborg Museum of Art have one of the leading collections of Nordic art from the turn of the previous century. On the top floor visitors find the Fürstenberg Gallery, originally a private collection which was later donated to the museum. The gallery is installed in a setting typical of its period, and here visitors find paintings by such Nordic artists as Ernst Josephson, Carl Larsson, P. S Krøyer and Anders Zorn. The contemporary galleries contain art from 1945 onwards. The emphasis here too is mainly on Nordic art, but the collection also includes work from outside the Nordic area. The Stenasal is used for temporary exhibitions of contemporary art.

Unlike other major national art museums, the Göteborg Museum of art does not have its origins in royal or princely collections. It is the people of Göteborg themselves who have created the museum through donations of works and resources.
