Fotografiska offers an unforgettable experience! The museum's ambiance is remarkable, and the current exhibition featuring childbirth photographs left us profoundly moved. The photobooth was a fun addition, and we enjoyed exploring the lovely gift shop filled with unique souvenirs. A must-see for photography and art enthusiasts!

I made a dinner reservation in advance. Everything was excellent; the staff was friendly and kind. The food was superb, showcasing an Italian influence while maintaining Swedish flavors. I had requested an outdoor view in my email, but that was not accommodated. Regardless, this experience is one I would gladly repeat. Dining within the museum includes access to its exhibitions.

I had high hopes for this place during my Stockholm stay, given the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing. The temporary exhibit left me unsettled; while some images were thought-provoking, the loud music made the experience unbearable. Although the other exhibits were decent, nothing stood out as particularly engaging.

The previous year's special exhibition featuring hip hop photography was truly remarkable. The building itself, a former customs house in Art Nouveau style from the early 1900s, is beautiful, with various spaces including a café, conference rooms, museum shop, and gallery. Even if modern photography isn't your favorite, visiting this museum should be on your agenda.

Fotografiska is not just any museum; it's the largest photography-dedicated venue in the world. With over 2500 square meters of exhibition space, it features a variety of rotating exhibits each year.
