The Gothenburg Museum of Art lacks an up-to-date overview of its internationally sought-after collections. An English-language book on the collection is particularly needed. The museum therefore wants to create a book that is intended to serve as both a catalog of a selection of works and a popular science presentation of the collection. The book is planned in a Swedish and an English version. With the support of the Sten A. Olsson Foundation for Research and Culture, a research unit was set up at the museum in 2008 to examine the museum's history and collection from different perspectives. Since January 2011, an infrastructure project funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond has been underway to create a scientifically reviewed catalog of the collection available online. Both the work of the research department and the basic research of the infrastructure project will form the basis of the catalogue. The book, planned for 320 pages with 260 color illustrations, presents the museum's collections in an attractive design. Popular science essays are interspersed with shorter texts to present the latest research on the collection in an accessible form. Project management and editing takes place at the museum. The texts are produced by museum staff in collaboration with the research department.
