The move to Open Collections is expected to take place over a period of two years. Preparing and relocating the collections to the new premises is a major undertaking; therefore, access to the collections will be limited during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research services will be limited from October 2025 until the end of 2027, and access to physical material will not be possible. Loans from the collections will also not be available during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skissernas Museum manages Lund University\u2019s art collection, which will be subject to the same restrictions during the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large parts of Skissernas Museum\u2019s collection have been digitised and are available to explore: The museum will remain open as usual throughout the entire relocation to the new storage facility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The collection at Skissernas Museum <\/strong>\u2013<\/strong> Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art<\/strong> includes works by both Swedish and international artists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The collection currently consists of around 30 000 works by both Swedish and international artists from the early 1900s to today. These works include everything from a rapidly scribbled pencil sketch or copper wire models only a few centimetres tall, to five metre-high plaster sculptures and, in certain cases, even completed works. Since the museum was founded in 1934, artists have donated or sold their sketches to the museum, which also actively acquires new art so that its collection can show representative and current examples of contemporary public art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
