Dunkers Kulturhus
Dunkers kulturhus
A white modern building by the harbour that houses art exhibitions, a city history museum, and a theatre, with views over the strait.
Dunkers Kulturhus opened in 2002. It was designed by Gin Utzon, son of Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the designer of the Sydney Opera House, and it is named after patron Henry Dunker. Inside are a contemporary art gallery, a permanent city museum telling the thousand-year history of Helsingborg, a concert hall, a theatre, and an art school. The top floor and the café have excellent views over the Øresund strait. It is right beside the North Harbour promenade and Central Station, so it fits well into a harbour walk. The permanent exhibition costs about 100 Swedish kronor, and the museum is closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00 (often until 20:00 on Thu); closed Mon
