The current exhibition, Anders Zorn: Sweden’s Superstar, has already attracted nearly 100,000 visitors since its launch. Running until January 25, the show highlights the Swedish painter’s celebrated works.
Last year’s Rendezvous of Dreams: Surrealism and German Romanticism proved another success, drawing 151,557 attendees. The museum’s ability to attract large audiences has continued into 2025. Looking ahead, the Kunsthalle will host Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch: Painting as Life from March 27 to August 30, 2026.
