Moderna Museet, Stockholm Overview

Moderna Museet, as the name suggests, is a collection of 20th century modern artworks, from artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalf, Meret Oppenheim and many other contemporary artists.

This modern art museum on the island of Skeppsholmen was built in 1958. It's collection include not just paintings by popular artists, but also a sculpture park which houses works of sculptors from all over the globe. The artwork of present day contemporary artists is also displayed in the museum, along with the works of some of the most prominent names in modern art. Quite interestingly, the museum has also been the victim of a heist, which saw the robbery of 6 of Picasso's paintings and 2 of Georges Braque's. Spanish architect Raffael Moneo is the architect of the building in Skeppsholmen today. The museum is host to many modern art exhibitions throughout the year, and also has workshops for children.
