The Cultural Administration's activities enrich people's lives through libraries, meeting places for young people, art, and other cultural activities.

Halmstad Municipality has been named Culture Municipality of the Year 2023 for a long-term cultural policy that contributes to quality of life, community, health, welfare, and democracy for all residents and visitors.
