About the museum

Bonniers Konsthall opened in 2006 at Torsgatan 19 in Vasastan. Jeanette Bonnier (1934–2016) founded it and led its board until 2016. After her death, a foundation in her name was set up to support the museum.

The museum shows Swedish and international contemporary art. It gives room to young and emerging artists next to established names, in both solo and group exhibitions.

The building

The architect Johan Celsing designed the building. Its plan is a wedge, which you can see on the floor plan by the entrance. A long glass front runs along the street, and a rounded glass tower rises behind it. From the pavement you can see art through the windows.

Inside the museum

From the street, a lift and stairs lead up to the reception on floor 1. The floor plan on the pillar by the entrance is in Swedish and English. It shows the reception, toilets, lift and cloakroom, the entry galleries and the main galleries, the shop, the café and the library. On the lower floor you find toilets, a lift and the kids’ corner.
