Moderna Museet Malmö is the first branch of the main
museum in Stockholm. The former Electricity Station dating
from 1900 and once the Rooseum gallery, has been refurbished
to meet international museum standards. Seen from the exterior
a new extension marks the arrival of the new museum. The
extension provides a new entrance and reception space, as well
as a cafeteria and a new upper gallery. Its perforated orange
façade both connects to the existing brick architecture and
introduces a contemporary element to the neighbourhood.
