What is it?
This spacious airy gallery houses painstakingly-curated and frequently-changing exhibitions, inside an imposing red-brick former customs building. Recent collections include street photographer Bruce Gilden, contemporary artist Josèfa Ntjam and a striking exhibition on birthing stories by Emilia Bergmark-Jiménez.
What will I find there?
The well-written exhibition guides are a welcome addition for novice photography fans. On the ground floor, the backroom exhibition is easily missed, but this wing frequently contains memorable and sometimes tear-jerking photojournalism, from clandestine images of war to celebrations of joy in the everyday.
What should I eat?
When you’ve had enough culture, head upstairs to The Bistro, an achingly stylish bar and café area which serves overpriced but very tasty snacks, fantastic coffee and a strong selection of quality wines. It’s open until 11pm most nights. For a proper sit down dinner, there’s also The Restaurant, serving up tasting menus for 650 SEK (£47, $58), excluding alcohol.
Time Out tip
Jostle your way into a window seat in Fotografiska’s café for stunning panoramic views over Stockholm’s Old Town and Djurgården’s historic themepark Gröna Lund, open since 1883.
