Fotografiska
Fotografiska (The Swedish Museum of Photography) is a centre for contemporary photography in Stockholm, Sweden that opened on 21 May 2010.
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[1] 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 museum. The city of Stockholm has funded the 250 million SEK restoration costs.
