Visitor From TripadvisorThe real attraction for me was the gallery's collection of Nordic painters. Goteborgs konstmuseum has possibly the best collection of Nordic painters in the whole of Sweden.

Visitor on their Instagram 18 Dec 2016At the Göteborg Art Museum you could really feel the art from different centuries communicate with eachother. Great work of mixing old and new pieces from the collection and giving the exhibition such an interesting twist!

Karen Bryan, Blogger Europe a la carte, 8 Dec 2016Visiting the Gothenburg Museum of Art was one of the highlights of my stay in the city.
Visitor From TripAdvidsorI took a walk through Gothenburg and discovered the museum of art. At the end my visit took 2 hours longer than I planned to spend in the city, because I really enjoyed exploring all the artworks and the temporary exhibition in this nice building. As a student the entry was free! :-)
Visitor From TripAdvidsorThe museum houses art (mainly paintings) from the last 500 years or so. We were pleased to see such a wide-range of artists' work displayed - both those from Scandinavia but also those more well-known to us such as Picasso, Munch, Van Gogh, Kandinsky and Monet.

Themes for Private Guided Tours
Highlights of the collection
Let our art educator present highlights of our collection, featuring the foremost artists and artworks. Or, if you prefer, the tour can be adapted to suit your personal highlights!
Life and death in art
Art depicts all the phases of life – including death. We take a closer look at how artists have depicted life and death in both historical and contemporary art.
Art and mental illness
In what way can art create suffering, or suffering create art? What is the connection between creativity and the unconscious forces of the psyche?
Nudity in art
Have you ever wondered why so many artworks show the nude body? On this tour we get under the skin of the nude artworks at the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
What is art?
We investigate contemporary art in the collection, emphasizing its diversity of materials and expressions. What is art? What could be art? Who decides, and where are the boundaries, if there are any?
Nordic fin-de-siècle and the Fürstenberg Gallery
Hear more about the unique collection of Nordic fin-de-siècle art in the Fürstenberg Gallery. We travel through time from 19th century history painting to the lyrical “Nordic light”.
Explore the Queer in Art
Norms are the unwritten rules that we all have to relate to on a daily basis. On this tour, we examine art from the perspective of gender studies and a critique of norms – something that can teach us a lot about both history and the present time.
