Galleri Magnus Karlsson, founded in 1990, is a contemporary art gallery located in Stockholm, Sweden. The gallery has a rich history and has gradually gained a reputation as one of the most interesting contemporary galleries in Sweden. Initially located in Västerås, a city 100 km west of Stockholm, the gallery moved to Riddargatan 29 in Stockholm in 1997 and has since 2005 been located on the ground floor of The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts on Fredsgatan 12.

The gallery's focus has been to present emerging artists from Sweden and establish long-term relations and representations. The gallery has done international art fairs since 1999, such as Liste, Basel, Art Forum Berlin, Frieze Art Fair, London, The Armory Show, New York, ABC, Berlin, Chart, Copenhagen, Frieze Art Fair, New York, Art Berlin & FIAC, Paris, to present those artists also internationally. The gallery also co-produces exhibitions, pop-up exhibitions, and projects with museums and galleries in Sweden and abroad.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson is also known for its summer project room, Hellvi Ka?nnungs, in a rebuilt limestone barn on the island of Gotland. Since 2011, it has served as an alternative exhibition space to the gallery in Stockholm. Some of the gallery artists have curated their own exhibitions here, and it has been a place to explore new ideas. Hellvi Ka?nnungs has become a meeting point for artists and the public in an environment completely different from the urban gallery space. The proximity to nature and the seclusion has contributed to a prestigious and inspiring atmosphere.

In addition to its spaces in Stockholm and Gotland, the gallery is a partner in the hotel Le Manoir in Banyuls-sur-Mer, located in French Catalonia where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea. The gallery has made presentations by some of its artists here, and works by gallery artists are shown in the public areas and bedrooms throughout the hotel.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson stands as a beacon of contemporary art in Sweden. Its commitment to fostering artistic talent, promoting Swedish artists, and nurturing a love for art among the public has made it a significant player in the global art scene. As it continues to evolve and expand, Galleri Magnus Karlsson remains dedicated to its mission of supporting and promoting the work of innovative and pioneering artists.
