Founded in 1841, the Malmö Art Museum is one of the leading art museums in Scandinavia. The museum building, built in 1937, is located in the Malmö Castle complex in Malmö, Scania, in southern Sweden. The museum also houses large collections of modern and contemporary art in the North, which now contains about 40,000 works, covering the period from the 16th century to the present day. The museum also hosts many important collections and historical donations, including works by Carl Fredrik Hill (1911-1849). Also found in the museum is a unique collection of Russian finned paintings, which was acquired at the famous Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914. The museum also contains an extensive collection of furniture and handicrafts from southern Sweden.
