By Guest Contributor Linnéa Jahn from The National Association of Swedish Art Societies:
In 1997 Malmö Gallery night was founded. Over the years the gallery night became a gallery weekend, but the purpose is the same: to open up Malmös vibrant art scene for a wider audience!
During this weekend a 90 art galleries, art museums and pop-up art venues are open and many of them have openings, performances and other special events.
Opening hours are: Friday 6 pm - 10 pm, Saturday and Sunday 12 pm - 4 pm.
Malmö Gallery Weekend is organized by Konstfrämjandet Skåne, with the hope of making art accessible and enabling new meetings and experiences. Konstfrämjandet Skåne works to bring art into peoples everyday lives and make it accessible in different ways.
