Things to Do in the Surroundings
Hasselblad Center
The Gothenburg Museum of Art also houses the Hasselblad Center, which shows contemporary photography. It produces three major exhibitions every year, one of which features the annual Hasselblad Prize winner. The exhibition program consists of established and upcoming Swedish and international photographers. The exhibitions at Hasselblad Center are included in the admission to the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
Göteborgs Konsthall
The closest neighbour to the Gothenburg Museum of Art is Göteborgs Konsthall, which presents group and individual exhibitions that show the diversity of contemporary art. The Konsthall is located in the yellow building to the west of the Gothenburg Museum of Art. There is a direct indoor connection between the two buildings. Admission to Göteborgs Konsthall is free.
Museum of World Culture
Just a few blocks from the Gothenburg Museum of Art you will find the Museum of World Culture, which has activities for the whole family. The Museum of World Culture aims to be a forum for discussion and reflection, where many different voices can be heard, and where controversial and potentially conflicted issues can be addressed. It is a place where people can feel at home across boundaries.
Universeum
At Korsvägen, just a few blocks away from the Gothenburg Museum of Art, you will find Universeum. Here you will find a mix of animals and nature, new technology and exciting experiments. Go along on a safari through the Rainforest, dive down below the surface in the Aquarium Hall, or put your body and mind to the test in the Health section. Universeum invites you to an unforgettable adventure.
Avenyn
From the Gothenburg Museum of Art you look out over Kungsportsavenyn – perhaps the most fabled address in Gothenburg. Avenyn ("the Avenue"), as it is called colloquially, stretches from Kungsportsplatsen up towards another Gothenburg landmark, namely Götaplatsen, featuring Carl Milles’ fountain Poseidon. Along Avenyn there are countless stores, restaurants, and cafés to explore.
Lorensberg Villas
On the heights behind the Gothenburg Museum of Art lie the Lorensberg villas, which are considered to be of interest from the perspective of architecture history. The villas were built during the years 1913–25, primarily in the style of national romanticism, but you will also come across the classicism of the 1920s.
