Fotografiska


Fotografiska is a centre for contemporary photography in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, Sweden that opened on 21 May 2010.
It is not a museum because it has no collections, does not conduct research and is for-profit. It is not a member of either Swedish ICOM or Riksförbundet Sveriges museer.

Fotografiska is housed at Stadsgården, in a former customs house in the Art Nouveau style dating from 1906. Designed by Ferdinand Boberg, the building is listed as of cultural interest.
