Designed by Haworth Tompkins and White Arkitekter in collaboration with Malmö City Theatre and Malmö Stadsfastigheter the theatre reopened in 2023 after a five-year major renovation. The theatre’s transformation reintegrates it into the city’s social fabric, making it a visible and accessible cultural landmark, remaining in keeping with its founding purpose as a meeting place for the people of Malmo. While much of the original building fabric remains and is intrinsically historically valuable, the deeper value is in its ongoing cultural role as a good host to the people of Malmo.
