Bildmuseet is the contemporary art museum of Umeå University, on the Umeå Arts Campus beside the Ume river. The infobox credits Henning Larsen Architects and White Architects, while the text credits only Henning Larsen Architects for the seven-story building. The museum was founded in 1981 and moved into this building in spring 2012.

The infobox lists a Neomodern style, and the text names none. The facade is clad in larch that will fade to gray over time, with randomly spaced windows, and the interior is finished in white. Windows overlook the riverside. The article gives no other dimensions.

It opened to the public on May 19, 2012, and shows contemporary art, visual culture, design and architecture. It also hosts lectures, screenings, concerts and workshops. It was nominated for the Council of Europe Museum Prize in 2014, and the article gives no ticket details.
