In 1980, Swedish art critic and museum director Viveka Bosson bought the former site of the Mjellby folkskola, an elementary school outside Halmstad, Sweden. She established the Mjellby Art Museum there and later donated it to the Halmstad Municipality.
The museum is also known as the Halmstadgruppen's museum. It was founded by Bosson, who was the daughter of Erik Olson, one of the members of the Halmstadgruppen. The museum holds a large permanent collection of the group's art, which is often presented in new formations.
The art gallery shows four to five exhibitions annually. These exhibitions cover a range of content, including work from 1900s modernists to current contemporary art.
