Swedish Museum of the Year 2019

The prize was awarded by the Minister for Culture Amanda Lind during Sweden's largest national museum conference.

The motivation of the jury describes that Museum of Artistic Process of Public Art (Skissernas Museum) highlights the great issues of our time, such as power and climate. By addressing wide visitor groups and welcoming an outside perspective, including student guides, the museum creates added value and impact in conversations about art and a broader concept of artistic processes.

The Swedish International Council of Museums (Svenska ICOM) and the Swedish Museums association (Sveriges Museer) stand behind the Museum of the Year Award.
