Getting There

Train + Local Transport
From Copenhagen’s central station, frequent trains whisk travelers over the iconic Øresund Bridge to Malmö’s main station in roughly 35–40 minutes. Tickets are available at Danish and Swedish stations and cost about 120–150 DKK (170–210 SEK) one-way for adults. From Malmö Central, it's a pleasant 15–20 minute walk through the city center and leafy parks to the museum, or a very short local bus ride (5–8 minutes, approximately 20–30 SEK). The museum is adjacent to Malmöhus Castle, which is well-signposted and recognized as one of Malmö’s leading cultural landmarks.

Driving
Travelers arriving by car from Copenhagen cross the Øresund Bridge (toll approx. 495–650 DKK for a passenger car each way) and follow the signs for Malmö centrum. The museum is located near Malmöhus Castle, with public parking available in the castle district’s municipal lots—rates typically range from 20 to 30 SEK per hour. On weekends and school holidays, parking can fill up quickly, so early arrival is advised.

A taxi from Malmö Central Station to the museum area typically takes 5–10 minutes, depending on traffic, and usually costs around 120–170 SEK. Alternatively, direct taxis from central Copenhagen to Malmö are possible but significantly more expensive, often exceeding 1200 DKK due to bridge tolls and intercity pricing.
