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).

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.
