In the ceiling is a moving beam for retrieving screens (from a total of 30). The device is operated by a museum host, who can also tell you what the screens contain. At present, you can choose between more than twenty screens with some of our most popular works, and some that are less well-known. The screens are arranged according to themes, such as “A Picasso Painting is Born”, “Colonial World Views” and “Desire and Angst”.
In addition to the art on the screens, works by Francis Bacon, Kjartan Slettemark and other artists are displayed in the room. The Study Gallery also offers selected art books and catalogues linked to Moderna Museet’s exhibitions and works in the collection, and many books from Pontus Hultén’s private library. Take a seat with a publication or two, and learn more about an artist or subject.
