About  Moriska Paviljongen:   
Moriska Paviljongen is a 110 year old building centrally located in the middle of one of Malmö's many parks.

Today, Moriska Paviljongen has a reputation for hosting the best clubs, concerts and most creative people in the south of Sweden. With its large rooms and amazing interior it is the most popular place for clubs and cultural events in Malmö.
