Excellent Value and Highly Recommended!
Oct 2023 • Solo
I went there to see the Hasselblad photography exhibition, which would only have taken 20mins, and saw the rest of the museum too. The Gothenburg Colourists exhibits was my favourite. The guidance was to take the lift to the 6th floor and work one's way down. This was the best way to do it. There were Monet's. Picasso's. Cezanne's too and even some Rembrandt's. The entrance fee was only 65SEK.

Imaginative and engaging displays well worth a visit
Sep 2023 • Solo
Well-chosen purchases by Gothenburg's industrialists have built an outstanding collection of beautiful art, particularly for the period 1880-1930. The displays are imaginative, with successful responses by contemporary artists to historic pieces, and plenty of interesting labelling.

The gallery is in an interesting almost art deco building of 1918 - very different to what one would fine elsewhere in Europe - and like many Gothenburg buildings on hillsides, on multiple and confusing levels with many stairs. I opted to take the lift to the top and work my way down. The rooms are spacious and attractive. Don't miss the temporary galleries, modern and tucked away at the side of the Gallery, full of Gothenburg colourists at the moment.

I enjoyed some ravishing paintings and learnt a lot about Scandanavian art too. Strongly recommended to refresh the spirit.

Note that there is a free and separate contemporary art gallery up yet more steps to the right of the main gallery entrance and not well signposted. This has temporary exhibits, fun if variable in quality.

Wonderful museum showcasing a variety of exhibits

Despite being a busy day in Gothenburg the layout of the museum enabled us to enjoy the many varied art exhibits on display without feeling rushed. A well maintained museum worth the visit

Interesting Nordic parts of the collection
Sep 2023 • Solo
There was a temporary exhibition about Goteborg painters which was interesting, as well as the Hasselblad center. For the rest parts of the collection give an idea of Swedish and Nordic artists - the rest of the collection is quite standard, you can see more and/or better works of these artists elsewhere.

It is located in a nice area for sight seeing and people watching so a good place to add into your day out.
There is a extensive collection of a variety of different styles of art so something to please most.
It is well curated and with a nice set-up.
Also while busy it never felt crowded or cramped.

An extensive art collection in the heart of Gothenburg
Jun 2023
Even though I have visited Gothenburg pretty much annually since 1996, I don't believe I had frequented this museum before I decided to give it a visit on my last trip back in June of 2023. At least not as an adult. The art collection is massive and varied, and the paintings are exhibited on delightful backgrounds, ensuring that they truly come into their own in this museum. Additionally, the building itself is an old, historical one, which makes for a lovely premise to hold a museum as astonishing as this. Will definitely come back at a later occurrence as well.
Please note that large bags aren't allowed into the museum, and you will be asked by the guards to leave them in one of the lockers in the lobby.

The staff members with whom we interacted were warm and friendly, too.

Good collection of old and new, local and European.
Sep 2022
The museum offers several floors with a wide range of art; from older pieces to modern. Some of the galleries are focused on regional artists, and it was great to see their perspectives.
