About the organization
Moderna Museet, Sweden's national museum of modern and contemporary art, opened in 1958 in a former naval drill hall on Skeppsholmen, Stockholm. Founded with a mandate to collect, preserve, and display art from the early 20th century to the present, the museum has built an internationally recognized collection that includes works by Picasso, Dali, and Matisse alongside a deep commitment to Swedish and Nordic artists. Its history is marked by a curatorial ethos that balances canonical modernism with experimental and often politically engaged contemporary practices, and it has long served as a platform for critical discourse through exhibitions, publications, and public programs.

Taking part
For sketch proposals related to Skeppsholmen, artists should first review the museum's exhibition history and current program to ensure alignment with its curatorial interests. Proposals should demonstrate a clear understanding of the site's architectural and historical context, as well as a thoughtful engagement with contemporary art discourse. Practical considerations include scale, material feasibility, and the museum's public mission. It is advisable to contact the curatorial department before submitting to confirm current opportunities and guidelines, as unsolicited proposals may not always be reviewed. Keep in mind that Moderna Museet prioritizes projects that are both conceptually rigorous and physically realizable within its unique spaces.
