Financed by Maria Bonnier Dahlins stiftelse, Bonniers konsthall is a private art gallery in Stockholm. Sara Arrhenius served as the gallery's first chef until 2017, when Magnus af Petersens took over. From 2019, the leadership was split between Theodor Ringborg as artistic director, Ellen Wettmark as operations manager, and Li Erlandsson as personnel manager. Joanna Nordin took over as artistic director in April 2023.
The building, designed by Johan Celsing Arkitektkontor, is a five-story glass structure with a triangular shape and rounded corners that follow the curve of Torsgatan. It opened in September 2006 with a collective exhibition featuring works by former Maria Bonnier Dahlin scholarship recipients, including Cecilia Edefalk and Karin Mamma Andersson.
In April 2022, it was announced that a new museum would be located in the same building, one floor above Bonniers konsthall. This move is planned for a period of five to eight years while a final location is decided, with a first exhibition scheduled to begin in the summer of 2023.
