Well laid out and nice but not many photos, not sure it was worth the time with so much else to do. Great location and view of the city though

One of the best place in the city (or somewhere close to best if you don't like photography) Although it's slightly expensive and relatively small, the displays are of absolutely outstanding quality (and in my personal opinion comparable to other top galleries in Europe). Make sure you visit the cafe - lovely view! Tips: It opens til 11 pm on... More

Cool small museum with lovely cafe overlooking water. The Helmut Newton exhibit was extensive and well presented. Art and photograph lovers should not miss this museum.

The building itself is not a real sight. If you like photography and/or the actual temporary exhibitions then you'll probably like this place. Otherwise it's too expensive to look around.

I think that one has to be interested in photography to appreciate the finer aspects that this museum has to offer. I found it fascinating and what they can do with technology these days is mind bending. The museum has a good restaurant and lovely views over Stockholm.

The exhibition we went to see was by Helmut Newton. I liked it but he wouldn't be my biggest idol, there was also a exhibition by ruud van empel and his work was amazing. It's a nice museum but since it's rather their I suggest to check if something is on you like

Fotografiska wasn't quite what we expected. When we visited we found exhibitions of 3 different photographers, and nothing else. I had expected an array of different photographs, so I didn't really feel it was worth the expensive entry fee. I'd advise you check the current exhibitions to see if you like those photographers before going, as there isn't much else... More

I went here on a rainy day in Stockholm and was so glad I did. I saw the most amazing photo collages done by a Dutch photographer Ruud van Empel. He photographs people and back grounds and then painstakingly composes them into something new using Photoshop. Ialso saw an exhibition by Anna Claren called Close to Home and an excellent... More

We were recommended by a Swedish friend of my boyfriend and were lucky enough to visit Fotografiska during the Dave LaChappell exhibition which took over the entire museum. It wasn't free but definitely worth the admission fee (minimal, I think 70 kroner but I can't remember for certain). The exhibition itself was comprehensive, intriguing in its challenging and controversial photographs... More

Great collection of modern photography. A variety of exhibits in a great location, right in the Stockholm harbour.
