Lunds Konsthall is a significant international contemporary art venue achieved with exhibitions and other events of high international standards, featuring art from the nearby region as well as from the rest of the world, continually engaging in research and experimentation with new exhibition formats. The city of Lund being home to Scandinavia’s largest university and the concentration of highly educated inhabitants makes it an interesting environment for exhibiting contemporary art.
