The Rooseum Center for Contemporary Art was a formally private-owned (though publicly funded) centre for contemporary art located in Malmö, Sweden. Founded in 1988 by the Swedish art collector and financier Fredrik Roos (1951-1991), Rooseum began as a traditional exhibition hall showing modern and contemporary art from the Nordic countries and internationally. Under the first director, Lars Nittve, it established an international reputation. With the arrival of Charles Esche in 2000, Rooseum promoted more experimental relationships between art, artists and audience, by offering exhibitions and commissions linked to seminars, discussions and relevant screenings. It became one of the main sites of the artistic discussion around 'New institutionalism'. Rooseum, which was housed in a former power station built in 1900 at Gasverksgatan 22, closed in 2006.The Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm (Moderna Museet) opened a satellite location, Moderna Museet Malmö, in the premises of the former Rooseum in 2009. The Moderna Museet Malmö exhibits both its collection and temporary contemporary art exhibitions.

Murder of Katarina Jakobsson

Ebba Katarina Jakobsson (29 October 1950 – 7 November 1979) was a Swedish woman who was murdered and dismembered by her boyfriend Bengt Erik Hjalmarsson (later named Erik Ludvig Gyllenfjäder; 18 March 1949 – 12 January 2015) in his apartment on Kornettsgatan 20B in central Malmö, Sweden on 7 November 1979. Both Jakobsson and Hjalmarsson suffered from various mental disorders during their respective upbringings, which included schizophrenia, with both having sporadic contact with psychiatric care facilities. Jakobsson and Hjalmarsson had met each other during the summer of 1979, with her moving into his apartment in November. Jakobsson was murdered by being drowned in Hjalmarsson's bathtub after an attempt to seduce Hjalmarsson into sexual intercourse. Following this, Hjalmarsson dismembered Jakobsson's corpse, weighed them and discarded of her skeletal remains in the harbor of Inre hamnen. Hjalmarsson then consumed roughly 20 kilograms of Jakobsson's flesh by cooking it and serving it with red wine during the course of several meals. As a result, Hjalmarsson has been known as Malmökannibalen (The Malmö Cannibal), with the case being referred to as Kannibalmordet på Kornettsgatan (The Cannibal Murder on Kornettsgatan) Investigations into Jakobsson's murder began when her father reported her missing on 10 November 1979. In January 1980, Hjalmarsson was arrested for an unrelated burglary at his mothers house in Helsingborg, and was a week later arrested at Jakobsson's apartment. During interrogation, Hjalmarsson initially denied claims, but gave a detailed confession after bits of meat found in his refrigerator were found to be of human origin. Jakobsson's skeletal remains were found in late January 1980. Hjalmarsson was sentenced to indefinitive psychiatric care in June 1980, and changed his name to Erik Ludvig Gyllenfjäder in 1986. He died in 2015.
