Baltic Exhibition

Baltic Exhibition

The Baltic Exhibition was held in Malmö during 1914. It consisted of exhibitions about industry, art and crafts from Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Russia.

The Baltic games were held at the same time, the swimming competitions lasting for 12 days and attracted many internationally well-known athletes.

Many of Malmö's parks were built for that occasion, most notably "Pildammsparken ", and although most of the buildings constructed for the exhibition was removed shortly after, some remnants can still be found here. The First World War interrupted the exhibition since both Germany and Russia came to be involved in the war. After the war Russia had ceased to exist and some parts of the Russian art displayed in Malmö remained here and was eventually incorporated into the city's own collections.
