The museum is located in Ljungby city center next to the former home and atelier of Sven Ljungberg (1913–2010) and Ann Margret Dahlquist-Ljungberg (1942-2002). Some of the permanent exhibitions are dedicated to their works. The museum was designed by their son, architect Pontus Ljungberg, and was built in stages between 1990 and 2002.[1][2] [3]
The foundation Sven och Ann Margret Ljungbergs Stiftelse was created in 1989 with the purpose of constructing a picture warehouse, but the idea was soon transformed into a museum instead. The museum was inaugurated by the then current minister of culture Bengt Göransson. In 2012 it became the official visual art museum for Kronoberg County.[4]
