Fotografiska in Stockholm is the Swedish museum of photography. If you like photography, you’ll no doubt love this gallery and meeting place as much as we did. As you’d expect there are lots of photos to see in the exhibitions which change every so often, but even if photography isn’t your thing, it’s worth visiting the cafe & bar. The museum has a stunning location on the water’s edge which offers attractive views over Stockholm, especially on a sunny day.

Although the photos in the exhibitions are the main attraction at the gallery, we also love the building itself and the way it’s been converted. Construction began on the building in 1906 and the red bricks and supporting pillars make it a very attractive building to look at. It was originally used as a customs control centre for the docks. After the conversion, the new gallery opened in May 2010.
Fotografiska is open daily from 10am to 9pm. Adult admission ranges from 179 SEK to 219 SEK (2025 prices) which allows access to all exhibitions. You can save around 20% by buying in advance here: Fotografiska Entrance Ticket
