From the year 2013 to 2018 the museum was closed due to a restoration of the building.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Anderson |first=Christina |date=12 October 2018 |title=A Restoration Brings Sweden's Nationalmuseum Into the 21st Century |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/12/arts/design/nationalmuseum-stockholm-reopening.html |access-date=5 March 2019 |archive-date=9 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109042009/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/12/arts/design/nationalmuseum-stockholm-reopening.html |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Moderna Museet]] (Museum of Modern Art) is Sweden's national museum of [[modern art]].
