The four major arts venues

Mjellby Art Museum with varied exhibitions with the Halmstad Group - the Swedish surrealists - and high-quality national and international art. At Hallands Art museum you find art and cultural history exhibitions. Works by, among others, the Halmstad Group, Sven X:et Erixson, and Olle Beartlling. Halmstad Art Gallery shows exhibitions at the Town library with contemporary art by local and national artists. Tres Hombres Art, Sweden´s biggest gallery, has checked in to Hotell Tylösand where the corridors abound with art.

Mjellby Konstmuseum – Halmstad Group’s Museum

Mjellby Konstmuseum – Halmstad Group’s Museum

At Mjellby Art Museum, there is a big collection of art of the Halmstad Group. This enables the museum to present exhibitions that highlight their pioneering works from the Swedish art history in the 20s and 30s, but also to give new insights and less known perspectives on the history of the group. There are also temporary exhibitions with focus on modernism and its tracks. The museum emanates often from topics like gender, norms, society and politics when they produce exhibitions – not seldom in collaboration with researchers. Alongside the art itself, there is even a workshop for children, a café and a shop, where you can buy, amongst others, art books accompanying the museum’s exhibitions.

Halmstad Konsthall (Exhibition hall)

Halmstad Konsthall (Exhibition hall)

At Halmstad’s art hall, you can be part of contemporary art by both local and national artists. The hall shows 6-8 exhibitions per year, which makes it a lively centre for Halmstad’s art scene.

Hallands Konstmuseum - Art museum

Halland’s Art Museum is located beautifully by Nissan and Norre Katts Park in central Halmstad. The museum is now closed for renovation and extension. Meanwhile, the public section continues with programs and exhibitions elsewhere in the county. The museum includes also the open-air museum Hallandsgården, where you can find old buildings from all parts of Halland. Here you can experience bygone times and competent guides show both adults and kids round.
