Fotografiska

Fotografiska (The Swedish Museum of Photography) is a centre for contemporary photography in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, Sweden that opened on 21 May 2010.

Despite its name, it is not a museum because it has no collections, does not conduct research and is for-profit.[1] It is not a member of either Swedish ICOM[2] or Riksförbundet Sveriges museer.[3]

Details

Fotografiska has 5500 m2 of exhibition spaces, an academy, bistro, café, bar, conference rooms, museum shop, gallery, and event spaces.

Fotografiska is housed at Stadsgården, in a former customs house[4] in the Art Nouveau style dating from 1906. Designed by Ferdinand Boberg, the building is listed as of cultural interest. The original brick facade is intact, while the interiors have been renovated to house the centre. The city of Stockholm has funded the 250 million SEK restoration costs.
