No, you need an exhibition admission ticket to access the restaurant, bar, and bistro. This is because the dining areas are integrated into the museum experience. However, you can enjoy both exhibitions and dining with one ticket.

Fotografiska shows diverse photography: documentary, portrait, fashion, landscape, conceptual art, and social commentary. They feature both established masters (like Annie Leibovitz, David LaChapelle) and emerging artists. Exhibitions change every 3-4 months.

Travel Tips

Useful tips for visiting Fotografiska

Visit in the evening for drinks with views. The restaurant is excellent but requires exhibition ticket even just for food. Check the exhibition schedule as shows rotate every few months. The gift shop has unique photography books.

Metro: Slussen (Red or Green line), then 800m waterfront walk. Bus: Lines 2, 53, 71, 76 to Sodermalmstorg. Beautiful walk along the water from Slussen.
