One of the highlights of the museum's collection is the Fürstenberg Gallery, which showcases a lavishly decorated collection of late 19th century Nordic art.

The museum is built of a yellow brick called ”Gothenburg brick” and represents the monumental Neo-Classical style in Nordic architecture. It forms the imposing end of the main street of the city, Kungsportsavenyn.
