Bildmuseet is among the top three museums in Sweden. Every year, the prestigious award "Museum of the Year" is presented, and Bildmuseet has been nominated, for the third time.
The award is given to the museum that has demonstrated courage, creativity, and excellence. The purpose of the award is to recognize excellent museum work and to inspire other museums to engage in innovative activities of the highest quality.
The justification for Bildmuseet's nomination reads: At the intersection of international contemporary art, academia, and public education, Bildmuseet offers an equally inspiring and engaging activity, with high artistic quality and low barriers. Bildmuseet's well-produced exhibitions and inviting program activities serve as a hub for the development and accessibility of art in northern Sweden, thus significantly strengthening the integrated role of art in societal development.
