4–6 exhibitions every year
Göteborgs Konsthall is a space for contemporary art that presents four to six exhibitions per year. Here you can experience thematic group exhibitions, solo exhibitions with in-depth exploration of individual oeuvres, as well as experimental and process-oriented projects. At Göteborgs Konsthall, we invite you to take part in the work of internationally acclaimed artists, as well as artists who have not yet reached wide audiences.

HISTORY OF GÖTEBORGS KONSTHALL
A Grand Jubileum Exhibition was shown in 1923 to celebrate Gothenburg’s 300th anniversary which took place two years earlier. A number of buildings were constructed in connection with the event, among them the art hall Göteborgs Konsthall, Gothenburg Museum of Art , Liseberg amusement park and the botanical garden. Several buildings behind the art hall at the time of the jubileum are no longer standing.
