Description

Essentials about Fotografiska in brief

Photography enthusiasts have a fixed place to go in Stockholm: the Fotografiska photography museum. Housed in a beautiful old industrial building in the Södermalm district, Fotografiska has become one of the most popular museums in the Swedish capital since it was founded in 2010. The works of local and international photographers and photo artists are exhibited here on 2,500 square meters of exhibition space. It’s always worth taking a look at the museum’s program.

The Fotografiska building

Fotografiska is located in a historic customs house on the banks of the Södermalm district overlooking the bay of Stockholm. The striking building impressively combines history and modernity and creates the perfect setting for the world of visual stories.

The exhibitions at Fotografiska

The heart of Fotografiska is undoubtedly the changing exhibitions, which cover a wide range of photographic genres. From renowned international photographers to emerging talents, works are presented here that challenge, inspire and move the viewer. The exhibitions reflect the diversity of photography, from documentary work to art photography and experimental projects.

Fotografiska has made a name for itself by spotlighting both Swedish and international artists. By presenting a diverse mix of voices and perspectives, the center creates a platform for intercultural dialogue and promotes the exchange of ideas and experiences.

The Fotografiska Academy

In addition to the exhibitions, Fotografiska offers a variety of workshops, seminars and events through the Fotografiska Academy. This educational institution enables photography enthusiasts of all levels to perfect their craft, learn new techniques and exchange ideas with like-minded people.

Fotografiskas collections

Fotografiska’s collection comprises over 500,000 photographs by over 2,000 artists. The collection includes works from all areas of photography, from portraits and landscapes to documentary and art photography.

The Fotografiska Restaurant

A visit to Fotografiska is not only a visual experience, but also a culinary one. The in-house restaurant, called “Fotografiska Restaurang”, offers not only fine Swedish cuisine, but also a breathtaking view of the city and the water. It is the ideal place to relax after an inspiring tour of the exhibitions and reflect on what you have seen.

Photography for the future

Fotografiska is more than a museum; it is a place that sees photography as a medium for social change and reflection on the world around us. Through exhibitions, discussions and educational opportunities, Fotografiska contributes to recognizing the power of photography as a cultural expression and tool for change.
