With a focus on creating a sort of spiritual dialogue between the artwork and the audience, the museum museet displays contemporary art from the twentieth century to today. It also prides itself on the close relationship it shares with the artists that choose to work hand in hand with the museum to showcase their masterpieces, for example Andy Warhol has his very first solo museum exhibition in Europe at this museum. Works by Picasso, Dali, Derkert, and Matisse are among the museum’s 6,000 paintings, sculptures and installations, 25,000 watercolours, drawings and prints, 400 art videos and films, and 100,000 photographs.

The museum has continued to grow its already impressive collection, most recently placing emphasis on female artists like Louise Bourgeois, Dorothea Tanning, Judy Chicago, and Susan Hiller, in keeping with its forward thinking mindset. Set on the tranquil, quaint and picturesque island of Skeppsholmen, it makes the visit an all round enjoyable experience that complements the artwork as a whole.
