Malmömässan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Malmömässan or, in English, Malmö Exhibition & Convention Centre, is an exhibition and convention centre in Malmö, Sweden.
Originally built as a manufacturing hall by the Kockums shipyard, it was turned into a SAAB factory following the Swedish shipyard crisis of the late 1970s and 1980s. In the early 1990s MalmöMässan AB, earlier based in Stadionområdet ("The stadium area", where Malmö Stadion and Malmö Isstadion are located), relocated there.
In 1992, the Isstadion played host to the Eurovision Song Contest.
The facility has an area of 20,000 m², divided into exhibition halls and a conference centre.[1] The biggest annual event held there is Skånemässan ("The Scania fair") held in September and with about 25,000 visitors.
