It's a cozy time machine packed with local legends, viking relics, and dreamy John Bauer troll art with a interesting futuristic point of view. It mixes nature, history, and magic. Free to enter but you’ll leave richer in whimsy
Colorful, modern and creative museum.nThere are many information about famous personalities in Sweden - brave and extraordinary ones. Something is told about ecology and nature. There are also exhibits of art and history.nThe entrance is free, so it is must-have-to-visit.
We visited for free and there were 2 exhibitions which impressed most. One was about John Bauer work, am immersive one. The second one was engaging as well, about different people from the past with interesting stories. A new approach to knowing a place by knowing history of its people, the me real, some partislly imagined. Totally recommended!
Jonkoping Museum is located in the heart of the Jonkoping's downtown. It consists of two buildings: The older one concrete colored was opened to public in 1955. Later, in 1992 The new expansion Reddish colored was finished and started hosting exhibitions and events.nThe museum has a great collection of the Swedish renowned artist John Bauer who lived and worked in Jonkoping. The Museum dedicate some galleries to its permanent shows, as well as some to temporary shows and events. Also within the museum there is an art conservation rooms. A small art and book shop is located on the ground floor. The museum is connected to the public library by a spacious hallway and a lobby where the cafeteria is located to serve both buildings.nThough it is a pleasant surprise to find that a small city like Jonkoping can boast a mid-size museum, you will be disappointed if you come here having in mind to see something like the Louvre of Paris, the Metropolitan of New York city, Madrid's Prado, or Cairo's great museum. The collection and the shows here are much more modest and austere, with an obvious stress on modernity that sometimes tends to be funky.nAlmost all the main Public bus lines stop right in front of the museum.nAdmission fee: Free.
A perfect place to visit every now and then. Keep an eye on their social media for the announcement of new artists. It wasn't crowded when we visited on Friday afternoon. Also there's a Jönköping history part that's pretty cool. It is connected to the stadsbibliotek and you can access the space through their door. There's also a small souvenir store in the front.
