Why go
Start with contemporary art at the former Rooseum building, now Moderna Museet Malmö, then cross Gustav Adolfs torg on the way to Davidshallstorg. These squares frame a change from central civic space to quieter neighborhood streets. Malmö Konsthall is the second substantial art stop; its daylight-filled hall also rewards attention to the building itself. Continue past Sankt Johannes kyrka and finish with room to wander in Pildammsparken. This route suits visitors who want galleries without spending the whole day indoors. Check current exhibition days before leaving; the park gives you an easy place to extend or shorten the afternoon.
