Sweden Unfolded: Castles, Coastlines, and Culture - Gothenburg

Stop: Gothenburg – Göteborgs Konstmuseum Standing proudly at the top of Avenyn, Gothenburg’s grand boulevard, Göteborgs Konstmuseum is the city’s cultural crown jewel. Its imposing neoclassical façade, with broad steps leading to the entrance, sets the stage for the treasures inside—an art collection spanning from the 15th century to the present day. The museum is particularly celebrated for its Nordic art, showcasing works by masters like Edvard Munch, Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn, and Bruno Liljefors, alongside international names such as Picasso, van Gogh, and Rembrandt. The galleries balance the grandeur of European classics with the intimacy of Swedish modernism, creating a dialogue between local and global artistry. Beyond the permanent collection, rotating exhibitions keep the museum vibrant and ever-changing. And from the terrace outside, visitors are rewarded with one of the best views down Avenyn, Gothenburg’s beating cultural heart. #mytraveldiary
