Free admission, nice cafe! I liked the exhibitions because I was curious to get to know Stockholm better. The exhibitions were chronological, and some of them were based on particular people and their lives, which was insightful. There's a small library as well.
Free entrance.
Recommend if you're traveling. Great exhibition and stories. Stuff is nice.
A lovely little surprise. Not only is this museum free but it was also not super busy.

Exhibits are well designed with enough items to keep you interested but not too much to overwhelm.

Highly recommend if you're into history.
Great free museum with fine exhibition material which will give you a lot of background on the history. I spent more then 60minutes there and I am not a big museum person. But is was worth it.

I’m an avid photography enthusiast, and while this wasn’t my first museum visit, I left feeling quite disappointed.

The location is stunning, situated by the water, and the building itself is lovely. The ticket price, around 24 euros, is reasonable, and the staff are friendly.

However, the museum itself is rather small. The first exhibits weren’t even predominantly photographic. The second part focused on selfies, which had an interesting concept but lacked something exciting. The remaining exhibits were “passable” at best, with a strange collection of kaleidoscope photos and Vogue movies. One part was pretty great though with the work of Richard Renaldi. The restaurant on the top floor offers a beautiful view but is incredibly noisy. Overall, I was quite disappointed. The museum shop also left much to be desired
Lots of people. Lots to see. Free. Toilets. Lockers. Disabled friendly. Baby and child friendly. Art. Exhibitions. English. Swedish. Interactive. Fun. Dress up. Touch friendly. Games. Maps.

Lots of kids!! Food available.

No directions! Walking in the wrong order... needs signs! Too many people in your way.

Note: Don't use elevator unless you need it... you wait FOREVER and it's always full so it's better to just walk or run the 4 floors.

In short, it is overcharged from false advertising, really far away to reach, and quick to see everything.

Took 1 hour to walk from Slussen Station (I did get lost a bit, but that would have only added 5-10mins). Basically, it is full of roadworks with NO SIGNS, and all the gates for shortcuts are locked by codes. After walking 1 hour in minus degrees and snowfall, we finally reached the museum. We bought tickets and the staff overcharged us by 50 each! I asked about it, and she said the price varies. However, I literally checked before heading there. After she said that, I had checked the website again, and it was still the same price! I was not offered a refund or price correction... so we went in paying 100 more for only 2 floors of exhibitions and 1 hour walk is not worth it. The exhibitions change over time, and currently, it is a "good" one. There was only 1 room I thought was nice, and another room that was interesting. I tried to go through another door, but it turned out it was the end! The entire upstairs was closed off because they held an event and did not inform customers upon arrival, or provided discount, or informed on the website, so we weren't even allowed to see the scenery, eat, or drink. There was also another room that was locked, so you can only see through the window. We spent so long getting here (even checked the directions on the website, too), but only spent about 30 minutes to see the entire place, which included reading and scanning most of the QR codes, too. I was just really disappointed, and it was just worse because they overcharged everyone and false advertisment of prices. Inside the museum, there were only about 6 people, so I don't understand why they did this. There is nice scenery outside, but you can only see it if there is no construction. This was done in both Swedish and English.

It is a fotograpy museum open till 23.00 at night. We visited the museum at night and had our dinner here. We enjoyed both the food and the exhibition. Very well done place. If you come during the day the restaurant has a beautiful sea view from its big windows.

The exhibitions were great and very on point. The selected photographers and their pieces were amazing, the amount of information given was perfect. People visiting can be a bit posh about clothing/looks and thus rude. The staff is not like that at all. Will return when visiting Stockholm again :)

I visited the Stockholm Museum on a Sunday. It was a free entry. (I believe it is free from Thursday to Sunday). The museum covers everything right from Stone Age to the modern era. Everything is maintained really well and all information is written both in English and Swedish. It has 4 floors (Ground plus 3 more) and starts in chronological order. I loved the museum and you need at-least 3 hours to be there.

+ Free Entry
+ Extremely informative
+ Very friendly Staff

Lovely building but hard to get to because there are major roadworks at the main tube station and limited to no signage to guide you.
Other than that the exihibitions are interesting but nothing amazing either.
Restaurant is very nice with an overview on the bay and delicious food.

Interesting presentation of photography. The ground floor presentation and music was a great, perfect lighting for photography. I loved the classic photography on the higher levels. The cafeteria is very good. Nice desserts and good quality coffee.

Generally has some great exhibitions on. Current one being the 50 years of Hip Hop which has some great photos/images from start of the Hip Hop era all the way through.

Check out the cafe on top floor for lovely vista over waters and view of city.

Easiest to just walk there from subway.
We had there our Company Christmas dinner. A lot of space to dine. Spacious dance floor. Place for band to play. Dinner was served in form of Swedish Table: herrings, meat, vegetable carresole. Sweet table and candy table. As well schnapps, beer, julmast and soda to drink. Overall, really good experience for Swedish Christmas Dinner. There could be more variety of warm dishes and meat dishes but it's just my own preference.

Sweden 🇸🇪 Stockholm - attractions
Loved my quick visit inside Fotografiska earlier this month. They had a great collection of souvenirs, tokens, literature, and relevant art from the hip hop exhibit. There were many great tributes for the musical & cultural genre across the related eras.
Really good museum to learn more about Stockholm’s history. Admission is free but they are closed on Mondays. Located in a very convenient location next to Slussen train station.

I thought the exhibition divides the time period well and there are English signs on most of the exhibits.

Unfortunately audio guide seems to be only in Swedish. My most favourite part is the exhibition around the building history of the City Hall. There are many old pictures with detailed explanation in English and Swedish. This was presented through a screen where you can take your time to view each image. As with all museums in Stockholm, portable chairs are available so you can take your time!

Lastly I also think they have the best gift shop out of all the museums. Many interesting post cards and merchandise
Very nice and small museum , kids really enjoyed the Viva Mexico exhibition.

Beautiful museum with multiple different expositions. Not just a feast for your eyes but also a trigger for your mind. We really enjoyed it and spent hours inside. Top floor has a nice restaurant with extraordinary views over the river and Stockholm.
A thought provoking, immersive experience. Well presented throughout with some interesting exhibitions. Also very well located for excellent views across Stockholm with a fantastic restaurant bar on the top floor with excellent windows, although seats by the windows are reserved for guests buying meals.

I would consider this less a museum and more of a gallery, if you are looking for a museum of photography this is not the place, but rather a lovely art museum of photography.

Honestly, I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. I was expecting a little photography museum that we might kill an hour at, just to say we did something other than eat and drink our way through Europe. But this was more like an immersive gallery! The exhibitions were beautiful, at times moving and unsettling, but in the way art is meant to be. And the restaurant on the top floor had the BEST views of the Stockholm bay and some really excellent food. I loved that their bread was baked fresh every day with spent brewer's grain and that all the veggies were grown in a hydroponic garden in the basement, that you could even go take a look at. I don't know what was in their salad dressing but my husband and I could not stop eating it. They also had the best non-alcoholic wine I've ever had there. All in all, 12/10 experience here. Great spot to experience some culture and enjoy a wonderful meal with a stunning view.

Really great exhibitions. The souvenir store has amazing collection of books, stationery and board/card games.
The bathroom is clean and I admire that they put small hand-towels to replace paper towels to go more eco-friendly in the bathrooms.
One of three museum that we got combine ticket. Great museum for quick travel around the world and to experience different cultures. A lot of different items and cultures. Recommend. For sure one of must see.

Went there last year and caught the Terry O'Neill and Andy Warhol exhibits.

It is a museum for photo lovers and a must go if you like these types of exhibits.

Was in there for around 2 hours just to be able to see each and every picture and was worthwhile.
Ethnography is a tough space right now, politically risky as it can be "othering" of remote cultures and groups. One should be careful when putting together an exhibition. And certainly, they were careful when putting together the content. Another exhibition on the Days of the Dead as though that's the primary culture of Mexico, after 2500 years of numerous kingdoms, phases, of a rich and diverse modern culture, etc. But still, Days of the Dead are visually spectacular and easy to enjoy. I do my own Days of the Dead parties from time to time.

Safe.

And I quite enjoyed the very brief, safe Mexico exhibition.

For the rest of the collection, nothing anywhere in the building about the universality of humanity, just lots of othering of foreigners, oddities of the non-white, non-normative cultures. Some nice Louis Poulsen hanging lamps to remind us that there is a safe, generic white Scandinavia just outside the doors.

Not safe is the menu in the kitchen. The themed Mexican foods are... not Mexican. They are the kind of "Mexican food" one can find in the ethnic aisles of ICA. I was there with four Mexicans and two Mexican permanent residents around the table, we were left wondering about the ethnography of Downey, California where Taco Bell comes from. Or Texas. But not Mexico. I assume not ethnography of Downey is forthcoming, one has to wonder why?

Our recommendation? Have someone who has visited Mexico handle the recipes in the cafe. Or just remove these dishes from the menu if you've never been to Mexico. It just reinforced the ignorance of this museum of ethnography.

Mexican exhibition has no English descriptions, just Swedish and Mexican. Not much to see, hardly anybody visiting the exhibitions. The only place busy are the playgrounds for the kids and the restaurant

Half of the exhibitions were interesting and worth a visit, but it was way overpriced. Visit only if the money is a non issue, or if you absolutely love photography. Definitely not for a general public.

Astonishing experience at Fotografiska.
We took the guided tour with Karim and it was worth every minute - he took us to the depth of each exhibition making our visit so much richer and different.
Beautiful & unique building, with a gorgeous restaurant at the top. A must try in Stockholm.
I bit limited and boring food. Meatballs are ok but variations and better menu inspiration would be better.

I ordered meatballs however the mashed potatoes weren’t done. Persona taking my ordered should have known this beforehand and informed me before taking my order.

Instead I was forced to wait.

Person taking my order said she would come out with my order but never did. Once I asked for it the mashed potatoes were done but my order was forgotten.

They employ very young children/adolescents who knows nothing about service. Disappointing.

It’s very crowded during weekend lunch time. Perhaps because a lot of other restaurants are not open in the winter season. Food was so so.
Impressive free Musium for asian culture and modern history.

Barely warm food served. But you won't have too many options of the place to eat in the park.

The smallest and softest schnitzel I have never had. 170 SEK?! If you are curious, you can try!
For a start, it's FREE! This is a great option for visitors to Stockholm and residents, particularly in the current day and age of high costs of living.

Friendly staff at reception, who are very helpful, is a second positive.

The museum has lots on offer, in terms of history of the city over the past few hundred years. Very well illustrated with displays and not overwhelming with text. Perfect for the end of the day (bonus is that it's open till 8pm on a Tuesday).

Eine hervorragende Ausstellung zu den Kulturen der Welt. In der Ausstellung werden historische Artefakte, ebenso wie Themen der heutigen Zeit präsentiert und sehr eindrucksvoll dargestellt. Gut gelungen ist auch ein Teil der Ausstellung, die sich mit heutige Konsumverhalten der Menschen befasst und welche Auswirkungen diese Verhalten hat. Kulturen von allen Kontinenten der Erde werden in diesem Museum aufgegriffen. Der Eintritt i ist kostenlos und ein Besuch lohnt sich wirklich. Eine sehr tolle und beeindruckende Ausstellung.
Great place to check out what swedish explorers brought back from their expeditions: scary idols, puppets, weapons etc. There was also a great photo exhibition when I had my visit there. And it's all for free! Exhibition is not the biggest, but it's just alright for you not to get bored and tired.

We went here for the New Years celebration and were impressed with their efficiency given the massive number of people. The food itself was also very good—we got meatballs and a hamburger, and an adorable frog-shaped pastry—and surprisingly affordable given its proximity to the New Years stage. People working there were quite nice despite it being absurdly busy. They could perhaps clarify more that there are two lines —one for the alcohol and another for the food—and it was a bit had to find a table, but these are minor points. Overall a quite enjoyable dinner and a good place to spend New Years!

Many things to see, but displacing everythings all at once seems degraded their value and the experience! The best thing is free entrance!
