Swedish Photography Museum

Swedish Photography Museum

The Swedish Photography Museum opened on May 21, 2010, located on the Lusen waterfront in central Stockholm. It is the city’s most important center for contemporary photography exhibitions and also the world’s largest museum dedicated to contemporary photographic works. The museum is housed in an industrial building designed in the Art Nouveau style, originally built in 1906 by Ferdinand Boberg, and is now listed as a protected cultural heritage site in Sweden.

The building retains its original red brick façade, while the interior has been renovated to accommodate the photography museum. The well-preserved, vintage structure provides an ideal space for the new museum, making it a must-visit for artists. The museum features an exhibition area of 2,500 square meters, hosting four major thematic exhibitions and 15–20 smaller exhibitions annually. It is a magnificent photography museum that has long collected works by artists such as Sally Mann, Anton Corbijn, Nick Brandt, and Pieter ten Hoopen—four photographers with highly distinctive styles and exceptional artistic achievements.

The Swedish Photography Museum not only displays world-class works but also offers workshops and lectures for both emerging and experienced photographers. In addition, the museum’s restaurant, shop, and gallery are equally captivating.
