Check the gift shop for photography and architecture books. The small entrance fee also gives you access to the Röhsska Museum, Gothenburg City Museum, the Maritime Museum and the Museum of Natural History."

I really enjoyed my visit to the Göteborg Museum of Fine Arts. The museum houses an impressive collection of works ranging from old masters to contemporary artists. I particularly appreciated the Nordic paintings and masterpieces by Monet, Picasso, and Rembrandt. The layout of the exhibitions is well thought out, and the explanations provided help to better understand the context of the artworks. The atmosphere is calm and perfect for admiring the paintings. Additionally, the building itself is stunning, with its grand architecture and ideal location on Götaplatsen. Overall, it’s a must-visit place for art lovers in Göteborg!

You can comfortably explore the museum in about 1.5 to 2 hours. The layout is well-designed, with just the right number of installations and pictures, so you won’t feel overwhelmed or exhausted while enjoying everything it has to offer.

This museum had a lot of great stuff, but also a lot that wasn't so exciting. The top floor was great. I loved the huge array of paintings here, from Picasso to a million Illustres Inconnus, which had incredible artwork. I especially liked the landscape paintings, with "En Solglimt" (Nils Kreuger) and "Brinnande ångbåt" (Marcus Larson) being some of my favorites in that category. I spent most of my time on this floor, and I imagine you will too. As you descend, the museum shifts to more contemporary art. There is a large hall lined with statues and sculptures, and a room branching off is filled with self-portraits. On the top of the stairs on one end of that hall is a ping-pong table, which would be great to keep kids occupied (you can use it). The temporary exhibition featured the artwork of Ilon Wikland, a comic I had never heard of, but with incredible artwork and an even more incredible story. I enjoyed this exhibit and learned a lot about Wikland. I was not an enormous fan of the contemporary art here, but the other art made up for it. Overall, this is a great museum and a must-see in Gothenburg.

Awesome art museum, great for rainy days! Really enjoyed how they laid everything out, contrasting both classical and modern art. The current temporary exhibit is incredible - fantastic setup. Can probably get through everything if you’re going fast in about 2 hours.

Done a visit here after 14 years... still great place to visit.... Rubens, Rembrandt, Cranach, Munch, Zurbaran, Picasso, etc. are just some of the best artists that have here. Not to mention other local Swedish artist. And the entry is just 70 kronas per person.

MONET! MUNCH! PICASSO! REMBRANDT! Would 100% recommend visiting the Gothenburg museum of art whilst in the area. We had no idea there was art here created by the masters - why doesn't the museum promote this a bit more? It's cheap! An adult ticket only costs around €5, and if you have a valid student card, it's FREE! Plenty to see, from modern art to classics. There was a great installation featuring the work by Ilon Wikland, which ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. Being from Ireland, we had no idea of her work, but we're so glad to have learnt about her art, her life and the contribution of her art to many novels. Go and spend a couple of hours here, you won't regret it :)
