There was an exhibition of photography with a well documented memory lane as the oldest camera and latest cameras faced off!a lot about Sweden and the older days..
We visited the Konstmuseum to see the display of Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Bernard exhibit and it was wonderful. We also had a chance to see the Vivian Meier photography display and that was also a highlight for us. All in all, an excellent museum.
Fantastic choice of exhibits displayed within a great space, well hung. I prefer modern art and there was a great coverage with strong inclusion of Scandinavian artists. Very enjoyable exhibition and if you have only have time to visit one museum when in Gothenburg I'd recommend this over the design museum any time.
The museum is lovely, showing both Swedish artists and renowned international artists like Chagall, Picasso and Monet. The buidling itself forms a lovely frame for the paintings. I especially enjoyed the paintings of Anders Zorn and Bruno Liljefors. The toilets and the restaurant, I am sad to say, smell very unpleasantly. Probably some bad piping, but it does destroy the overal picture and the smell put us of eating here.
Great collections and so few people. It's the kind of place you can just go to and enjoy the art, spend minutes contemplating the Van Gogh and just enjoy the moment.Just go there and visit. You won't regret it.
We liked the atmosphere in the museum as well as the opportunity to see some scandinavian art. There were also some very good paintings by the masters.
Really enjoyed this museum. Amazing art collection. Cost to get into the museum was about the cost of a coffee.
I was there in Oct. 2014. They showed the work of Vivian Maier, a almost unknown photographer from the US, some gothic landscapes (not sure if this is really kind of art, but interesting) and van Goth as well as Rodin. 100 SEK for all is not too expensive. The permanent exhibitions were not that interesting, but the museum also offers a shop (of course) and a little restaurant (which I did not try). If you like art, and there are some more interesting exhibitions, go there.
Anders Zorn, Carl Larsson, and many more both older and contemporary. Well curated and thoughtfully presented throughout. Also a fabulous restaurant, Mr. P, attached.
I went to this museum to occupy a rainy day. I had relatively low expectations, but I was quite impressed with the collection. I was lucky enough to catch a special exhibition on Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Bernard; oddly enough, it included an original Hokusai, the first one I've seen in person. The regular collection was eclectic and engaging, including a sizeable collection of Swedish artists, some provocative newer artists, and noticeable pieces by greats like Picaso and Rodin. I had a surprisingly good meal at the museum restaurant, Mr. P, too.
