The artwork may not be to your taste, but there is no denying it is conversation starting and interesting. Make sure to stop on the top floor for a coffee or beverage and take in the wonderful view while lounging on the many chairs or sofas.

As other reviewers mentioned, the exhibits and cafe are very worthwhile. The high quality of presentation (sequencing, annotation, lighting) enhanced my experience. (If walking to the museum, approach via the harbor side of Stadsgarden.)

This museum is amazing. From the brick building right by the water, to the awesome cafe with live music at times, and the cool store with super interesting items there. This place has it all. The exhibitions were very inspiring and made me want to take even more pictures of this amazing city. The museum also makes use of the... More

This is a small museum, so you can do it in a quick visit, and it's also in a great location. Get off on the Slussen T stop and it's a 5-10 minute walk from there. After you're done in the museum, climb up the stairs across the street and walk up Fjällgatan - great views!!! When we went, the... More

Was the highlight of our visit to Stockholm.. Such a rich collection presented in a very nice way. We were too lucky to see the the current selection of artists but I believe they have a continuously high level of exhibition quality.. Just go there and enjoy! Has a very nice cafe with great view too!

If you are in Stockholm on a Saturday or Sunday, enjoy a great brunch with impressive views before seeing the exhibition. The admission fee is waived to those having brunch at Fotografiska.

expensive like hell in the bistro, and unless you are visiting an exhibit thought out beforehand fotografiska offers some horrible displays of local "photographers" from the 68 movement with naked seniors and out of focus rusty oil-drums. pretentious, expensive, dull.

Fotografiska is a relatively new museum located a short walk from Slussen that specializes in contemporary photography. Recent exhibitions include works from David LaChapelle, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ruud van Empel. Good place to spend time as a couple, but also to bring kids. Make sure to have a cup of coffee, lunch, or dinner in the bistro on the top... More

I saw on tripadvisor that Fotografiska is one of te top places to visit. Getting there is ok but no direct public transportation considering it is such top attraction. We really enjoyed it though and verry happy that we went there.
