Full Description
Fotografiska in the Stora Tullhuset customs house
Fotografiska opened in 2010 in the Stora Tullhuset, a large customs house from the early 1900s designed by Ferdinand Boberg. It stands on the Södermalm waterfront at Stadsgårdshamnen, facing the harbour, and its industrial halls give the exhibitions a striking backdrop.
If you are searching for Fotografiska tickets or wondering how to get to Fotografiska, the museum is reachable on foot from Slussen, and buses and ferries also serve the waterfront. The general admission ticket lets you choose any day of the week and see everything on show during your visit.
The exhibitions: photography, art and visual culture
Fotografiska shows several exhibitions at once across different floors, with a mix of established names and new voices, and shows change every few months. Past programmes have included some of the best-known photographers in the world, alongside documentary work, portraits, fashion and mixed-media installations.
Because the programme rotates, it is worth checking what is on before you go. Some rooms are dark and atmospheric, others open and bright, and a visit is as much about mood as about individual images. Many guests stay longer than planned because there is a lot to take in.
Views, café and the museum shop
The upper floor holds a café and restaurant with large windows over the water and the city skyline. Meals and drinks are bought on site and are not part of the ticket, but pausing here is a popular part of a visit, especially at sunset when the light over the harbour is at its best.
On the ground floor you find a museum shop with photography books, prints, posters and design objects related to current and past exhibitions. Lockers for coats and small bags are available on the lower levels, though they are not designed for large bags or luggage.
Planning your visit: opening hours and the best time
Fotografiska is generally open every day from morning until late in the evening, and opening hours can change on public holidays, so check the slots when you book. The best time to visit Fotografiska is on a weekday morning or after 6 pm when it is calmer, and the evening atmosphere is a highlight.
Allow one and a half to two hours to see the exhibitions and more if you also stop at the café. Is Fotografiska worth visiting? For anyone who enjoys photography or contemporary art, yes, and it is one of the best rainy-day options in the city.
