Reviews
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

Entrance is free for 18-20 hours on Friday. It took me 1 hour to visit inside, it was very crowded tho. There were very nice products in the museum shop but they were very expensive:( I would like to buy it if it was a little more affordable
As a tourist i can recommend!!

I went there during Friday, since it is free entrance on Fridays between 18-20. There are such cool exhibitions with many great pieces of art from really famous artists. I don’t normally like modern art museums but this was a gem. The location was pretty too, I can imagine it would be a delight in summer. Totally worth it!
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.

Absolutely love the place. Kindly note that the museum is not in the center so plan your trip in advance. On friday, the museum is free from 6pm. A must visit in Stockholm
if you like modern art you will find couple of interesting pieces. the building was beautiful, nice to see.
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 :)
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.
well spent 5 hrs. in this place. i really love and enjoy with all exhibitions and activities!
Wundervolle Galerie mit einer herausragenden Sammlung an Gemälden und Skulpturen und Sonderausstellungen. Besonders empfehlenswert ist auch das Café.
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.

Fin och mysig utställning där just nu som kallas ”VIKGUBBAR” rekommenderas varmt!

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.

Nice museum with a wonderful collection.
I loved my experience there because I discovered the Swedish colourism.

absolutely perfect for just strolling through and enjoying heaps of interesting and beautiful art. nicely laid out as well with the rooms/areas being different themes/genres.
Permanent collection: excellent
Temporary collection (gardens in art): excellent
Gift shop: great range, not outrageous pricing
Amenities: very good, very clean, no ticket required for the bathroom, mildly haunted
excellent museum, very good gift shop and bathrooms that you can get into without a ticket. Jewellery display was only a little haunted and a lot of focus on non traditional art like cabinets and some textiles which was delightful. Each room was also a different colour which made moving through the collection very fun also they had a temporary exhibition on gardens in art delightful again.

Very nice place to enjoy artworks and paintings by many maestros, learning more about Scandinavian painters, very impressive. And got chance to see the paintings by Edvard Munch as well. Lucky me!
An amazing destination. Gallery that narrates the evolution of arts in from several centuries ago, motivations of the artists, lines of thinking, values. Gift shop has some very heart warming books to buy for that little friend you left at home. Highly recommend it
Excellent museum in the heart of Gothenburg. Terrific collection of paintings, from locan Swedish artists to Picasso & Van Gogh.
Es ist ein sehr kleines Museum ohne Dauerausstellung. Wenn man sich davor im Internet informiert, dann sollte das auch klar sein. Da es jedoch nur 2-3 Räume gibt (zu dem Zeitpunkt), aber sehr viele Personen das Museum besuchten, war einfach auf engstem Raum viel zu viel los. Man konnte sich die Kunstwerke nicht in Ruhe anschauen. Der Raum nebenan, indem Kinder basteln konnten und der Lärmpegel daher sehr hoch war, trug zu dem Erlebnis leider nur negativ bei.
Normalerweise bin ich gerne etwas länger in einem Museum. Hier war ich jedoch - aufgrund der Menschenmasse und dem geringen Angebot - binnen 20 Minuten wieder draußen.

Sehr schöne Ausstellung moderner Kunst. Die Mitarbeiter/-innen sind augenscheinlich selbst kunstinteressiert und keine externen Securityangestellten.
Die Bilder der Daueraustellung sind vielseitig und die vielen Sonderaustellungen bieten etwas für jeden Geschmack - und über den kann man bekanntlich streiten ;-). Dabei wird allen Werken viel Platz eingeräumt, so dass diese Raum zur Wirkung bekommen.
Mein Highlight (was leider etwas untergeht): das "Studienzimmer", bei man sich am Computer Werke auswählen konnte und diese wurden dann von einem Roboterarm an einer Wand heruntertransportiert (siehe Foto).
Wir haben uns ein bisschen verliebt in dieses Museum und werden ganz sicher noch einmal wiederkommen.

Loved the combination of modern art and diverse eras and styles of art displayed. Beautiful section in the museum with a focus on the artists in Sweden which was breathtaking!
Easy to reach via public transport and conveniently positioned behind the statue of Poseidon. A lovely gift shop at the entrance with some interesting souvenirs and amazing book collection for art enthusiasts :) ticket is very affordable and easy to get at the museum. Preferably always use credit/debit cards as most place may not accept cash.
Cool art installations and sculpture pieces!

Beautiful art gallery on a building that is old European style. Very beautiful building and they also have a sculpture courtyard which has skylight and gives a great ambiance.
On site restaurant/cafe/bar is also of very good quality. The dining area is big and have a lot of light.
The museum also has an app with audio guides and elaborate details. The reason I give a 4 star is I thought they could do a better job to present each exhibition in bite size format. Most of the time each exhibition floor only has 2 or at most 3 segments (and it is a very big place). I wish there was more emphasize on the story of people and history too to educate a general audience like me (I can’t say I am a big arts connoisseur).
Otherwise it is a very lovely building and art collection still worth a visit.

Small place. They tend to only have one exhibition.
So look up what's on before you go. I would have preferred the next exhibition, but the Moki Cherry was fun and it's nice to see old art.

A well curated museum featuring works by Twombly, Still, Newman, deBuffet, Matisse, and more. The Seven Rooms and a Garden exhibit by Rashid Johnson was really beautifully done and they did a great job at pairing his works with other pieces.
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.
We had the opportunity to see 10 paintings of an unknown artist. We finished the exhibition faster than putting our bags in the lockers. We expected something more from this museum, we left disappointed.
A very nice museum to spend an hour or two, with several works from famous artists like Rodin and Rembrandt, but not the greatest national museum that I have seen in my travels.
For an art enthusiast especially familiar with Dutch or Swedish artists, it may be more interesting.
There are plenty of bathrooms and free lockers to store your things as you wander through.

The staff are very knowledgeable and their activities for children are very well planned. Their restaurant ( It has been a few years since I was there) had some really good food, their home baked bread and homemade soup was to die for. And their carrot cake was a bit of heaven.
Featuring paintings from Rembrandt, Monet and other household names, art lovers will adore this museum.
The galleries are organised to travel through the ages, and offer a Swedish perspective on art through the ages.
The building itself is beautiful and well worth visiting to see the interior itself, but it also boasts an impressive collection of pieces from all over the world.
The labelling of pieces, however, was very confusing, and many cabinets of dozens of items were not clearly labelled so you were left guessing what referred to what, if they were even labelled at all.
The labels were also often just brief descriptions of the piece and did not provide any historical or cultural context to the pieces.
Overall, an impressive collection but unfortunately inaccessible to a layman due to the sub par labelling.

Great idea to open on Friday afternoon and free entrance! Always great exhibitions in the heart of 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.
Such a great space with well-presented exhibitions! Saw Peter Lindbergh exhibition and it was so interesting!! Great bar at the top as well.
Beautiful is not enough for this place. Highly recommend.
It contains a couple of houses with lots of statues and sculptures with great interior design from time period.

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.

An absolutely wonderful museum where you can easily spend half a day. They have a Cafe, free lockers to store your belongings and various areas to sit and enjoy the ominous environment. There is a gift shop on site as well and many clean restrooms. The elevators will take you to any floor if you have difficulty with stairs. The museum is air conditioned and a nice place to sit in the sculpture garden to relax and enjoy as it is indoors. The works of art are many as they have Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Rubens, and multiple Swedish artists. There is a modern gallery that features various works, sculpture, furniture, etc, and many rooms displaying antiques. I will definitely visit again. I gave the museum 4 stars only because the rooms aren't labeled as you enter them to follow along with the paper map. I had to visit the top floor twice and walked around multiple times to find the Monet. The guided brochure should provide detail on where some famous works are located and the room should have an identifying number on the wall near the entrance. There is a mobile app but I didn't have any information on that when arriving.
The name of the National Museum is slightly misleading; it is more of an art gallery and fine art museum than anything. However, it has a good and pretty eclectic collection, especially strong on Dutch art (there are a few Rembrandts) and (obviously) Swedish art. It covers a fairly broad time period, and in addition to the paintings there are artefacts and furniture, including an exhibition of Swedish design in modern times. If you are an art lover, or even have a reasonable interest, it is well worth visiting, not least for the building and some of the views across Stockholm, although it is unlikely to appeal much to younger children.
Great art from great artists!
They preserved and presented the arts delicately!
The lighting was also good, shaping the artsy atmosphere.
I entered here free on Friday after 6 pm.

Beautiful spot for a museum. The museums cafeteria is breathtaking- lovely view, definitely grab a coffee and snack there after. The locker system is easy and great.
My only complaint is that I thought it would be bigger, it’s much smaller than other modern art museums in other capital cities.
Great morning out :)

Nice layout and at time of visiting the bottom floor was paintings by one artist and top floor were sculptures by another.
The sculptures were not to my personal taste but I imagine if you love your art and don’t find some things pretentious, you will likely enjoy it.
End of the day, people were friendly, there’s a cafe and the price was cheap (£3.50) so the rest comes down to taste.

My recent trip to the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm turned out to be an enchanting adventure that truly captivated me. Upon stepping inside, I was greeted by an inviting blend of sophistication and warmth that set the tone for what lay ahead.
This museum boasts an exceptional collection that's an absolute delight for history aficionados and art lovers alike. The exhibits elegantly unravel Sweden's cultural odyssey, painting a vivid picture of its ancient origins all the way to the modern era. The meticulous attention to detail in how each artifact is curated and explained left a deep impression on me. It felt as though I was stepping through a portal in time, each new gallery revealing a fresh chapter in Sweden's story.
One of the highlights for me was the seamless fusion of art, craftsmanship, and history. The assortment of items, spanning from delicate porcelain masterpieces to intricate paintings, brilliantly showcased Sweden's evolving artistic prowess. The narratives behind each piece fascinated me, shedding light on the dedication and artistry that went into their creation.
The staff's enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge added an extra layer of enchantment to my visit. Their eagerness to share intriguing anecdotes and insights created a personal and immersive experience. Clearly, the team at the Nationalmuseum takes immense pride in preserving Sweden's cultural tapestry, ensuring that visitors like me can forge a meaningful connection with bygone times.
For locals and travelers alike, the Nationalmuseum is an absolute gem that should not be missed. It transcends being merely a museum; it's a captivating expedition through history that leaves you inspired and enriched. Hats off to the dedicated team for upholding such a remarkable institution that brings Sweden's history to life. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Stockholm so I can relive this extraordinary experience!

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.

Good museum! Lots of the usual European big names. We particularly liked the Swedish art and contemporary sculpture collection. There are lockers to store your bags and coats. There is also a nice cafe with sandwiches, snacks and coffee. Great option for a rainy day :)
Very cool sculptures, indoors and (mostly) outdoors. A lot of stairs to go up and down. Take your time, take in the atmosphere. Don’t miss the opportunity to go into the home. The experience is somewhat whether depending. It’s a 5 - 10 minutes walk from Torsvikstorg (no need to wait for the bus).
The entrance was free and the exhibitions were interesting :) Of course as it sometimes happens with modern arts you don’t always understand some artworks but that’s not about the museum, that’s about my personal taste. We saw some awesome photographic works there, there were not many people so the museum tour was comfortable. There is also a nice shop and convenient lockers.
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.
Free entry on Friday night. An amazing place with lots of artifacts, pictures and videos. Some temporary exhibitions will be hold randomly, so you could follow the official news on their website. You can enjoy the edification of beauty and art here!

+ I loved the smell of the oil paintings and wood! The colours and the amount of the paintings was amazing! A journey through time, passing from one hall to another! There are lockers for your belongings, a restaurant and a gift shop!
- I would appreciate some information label about the statues though.

Nice park, peaceful and not so big. We went midsummer’s day and it was really calm. Also nice coffee place.
Be careful museums aren't free anymore !
As it was raining on that day we just wanted an activity indoors , and this was the perfect stop.
The entry is a bit expensive but the place is interesting and coffee shop are a really good.

The Moderna Museet is indeed a beautiful and renowned museum. Located on the island of Skeppsholmen, it is one of Europe's leading museums for modern and contemporary art.
The museum building itself is quite striking and contemporary in design. It was designed by the Spanish architect Rafael Moneo and opened in 1998. The architecture features a combination of sleek lines, glass facades, and open spaces, which provide a fitting backdrop for the artworks displayed inside.
Inside the Moderna Museet, you can find an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by prominent Swedish and international artists. The collection spans various artistic mediums, such as painting, sculpture, photography, video art, and installations. It covers significant art movements from the 20th century to the present day, showcasing works by artists like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol, and Yayoi Kusama, among others.
You're in Stokholm, just go there !!

For me like for artists person , its really nice museum for spending 3-4 hours , they have only 2 floor but anyway its so nice . Also the idea with box where you can leave your clothes so nice with artists names.
Recommend to visit , they have free entrance for people to18 years old, and for Ukrainian people who have temporary permit card.( Info from 10.06.23) .

It was a gem. Starting from a light lunch in a museum caffe, and ending in the garden right out of at the rear of the propery. The artworks are impressive. Worthy of visiting.
One of our favorite in STLM. Amazing place, spectacular viewing from top, you will enjoy the sea, the port , the city and the nature in a whole 360 grad ankle. Different styles could be found in the corners of this open museum. Sculptures, stairs, banks and all plants make this place a wonderful Must-Visit. Both in- and outside parts are attractive in design and decorating. Also a lovely cafe next to the garden.
Parking in the weekend is quite hard even the museum offers public parking slots directly against the entrance.

This was a great excuse to get ferry 80 from central Stockholm to travel to the museum.
After getting off you can go left or right from the jetty. Going left means you enter via the garden with its lovely Vigeland sculptures, so if you went right, make sure you leave via the garden. No really, you don't want to miss them (but go to Vigeland Park in Oslo before you get too old, you will thank me).
Inside is a collection of paintings that is by turn interesting and dull - like most museums. We came for the Carl Larsson (but there is less than I hoped for) and to a lesser extent, the Munch (much less than you expect). But having said that, I still enjoyed the visit. The building is beautiful and calming, the displays and information are good, and the cafe - OMG that cafe was fantastic.
Near there is the 'Gravitational Ripple'. Go find it and have a thoughtful moment.
So IMHO, yes go and enjoy the water and the serenity and the art and the food. You won't be sorry.
After getting off you can go left or right from the jetty. Going left means you enter via the garden with its lovely Vigeland sculptures, so if you went right, make sure you leave via the garden. No really, you don't want to miss them (but go to Vigeland Park in Oslo before you get too old, you will thank me).
Inside is a collection of paintings that is by turn interesting and dull - like most museums. We came for the Carl Larsson (but there is less than I hoped for) and to a lesser extent, the Munch (much less than you expect). But having said that, I still enjoyed the visit. The building is beautiful and calming, the displays and information are good, and the cafe - OMG that cafe was fantastic.

Absolute gem in Stockholm. It's a must visit whether you're a tourist or local. 170 kr ticket price and it's definitely worth every penny. Has a nice restaurant as well.
A pearl of a museum.
Got there from the city on boat line 80 and enjoyed waalklinker there in the “countryside”
It is a small museum with an amazing art collection.m presented in an old home.
Certainly a top Stockholm site not worth missing.

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.

Beautiful place, peace and art. A great view to Stockholm city
The Gothenburg Museum of Art offers such diversity. I absolutely loved it. The museum has 6 floors and it can keep you busy for hours. Young adults and students have a free entrance, adults pay roughly 6 euros.
Wonderful little museum of rotating exhibitions. Great cafè and place to linger. Lovely staff.
Beautiful garden with a lot of ducks!
It is indeed interesting museum for modern art lovers. There were different sections. Take your time to walk around and observe works. For me the part with architecture of Sweden was really interesting.
P.S: It’s free on Fridays from 18:00 to 20:00

Somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is a magical garden and a sculptor's house. Carl Milles and his wife Olga bought this place in 1906. They lived and worked there together. And the fruits of their labor can be admired on site. Fascination with nature, sky, sea, astronomy allowed them to create a special garden where we can now sit, drink coffee or eat something. Although there is no shortage of rooms to visit, I recommend visiting this place in the summer. This time it will give us more pleasure;)
Beautiful garden area
Do not miss this place if it’s your first time in Stockholm (or even second and third). Spend your free time with arts. It’s free and nice. When you finish just visit the cafe. Have a glass of whatever you want. My choice was white wine & an open face sandwich. Then do some shopping at the store.
I love museum and their cafes. A cafe here was a nice place to hang out. They have everything you need. Food, dessert and drinks. Also the shop is interesting too!
The exhibition was ready just one room but because this is a small version of the Stockholm one so just enjoy it. Talked to the staff their and she shared a lot interesting stories about Malmö city. 💫

Nettes Personal und sehr schöne angenehme Ausstellungsräume. Leider etwas zu klein für meinen Geschmack, so dass man sehr schnell durch ist. Man muss also nicht sehr viel Zeit einplanen. Trotzdem auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert, da tolle Werke ausgestellt sind und es kostenlos ist
There is a kids workshop, make sure to let your kids stay a while
The gallery is the home of Thiel who collected a lot of paintings and works of art at the start of XX century. It is very interesting if you want to know something about the artists of Sweden and the paintings are amazing but it a pity because there are no explanations I English, so it is difficult to understand something for a tourist. Luckily also the staff is very friendly and they can give you informations.
The modern look of this art museum is a very interesting addition to Kalmar. We went there during an ongoing renovation so we were only able to see a single exhibit but with a very generous souvenir. Hoping to see it again next time with more exhibits.
The exposition was awful, however this review is of the museum itself; confusing and maze-like access to different gallery areas and no smoking allowed in the toilets - hold on, there were no toilets or smoking - that was just part of the expo. Elevator +1 star!
My favourite museum in Malmö! Today it’s the “Man with the blue face” exhibition so it’s super long queue from Saturday afternoon. We waited for 30 minutes outside to get in but certainly worth the waiting. The paintings were made from almost 100 years ago when there’s no smart phone or video streaming to tell stories but the paintings can still tell your emotions so perfectly. I think that’s why we still need art in nowadays life.
I really enjoyed the experience at Moderna Museet. Great exhibition but I was hoping to see more. Unluckily the museum isn't too big so when you find something that you like time goes by too quickly and the things to see end as well. Anyway if you like art deserves a visit.
Free entry and free cloakroom.

I called in here mid day mid week, it's has big airy rooms, and smaller more intimate spaces with an eclectic collection of art work. I liked the balance of paintings and sculptures, the different room settings added something to the gallery too. The eating area, is spacious however the place where you pick up your food can get congested very easily if there are more than half a dozen people queuing. Food was nice, good portion sizes. The gardens have some interesting pieces in them too! Will definitely call again.
Wunderbare Bilder aus dem Jugendstil von Meistern, die uns Österreichern noch unbekannt waren. Wirklich ein Geheimtipp! Wir konnten im August jeden Raum auch ohne Menschen fotografieren. Die 130 SEK zahlen sich mehr als aus! Auch das Angebot und der gemütliche Garten des Kaffees mit sehr interessanten Bronzen - ein Genuss.
It was one of the kindest guided trip I ever had inside a museum.
A beautiful and informative exhibit with friendly warm and welcoming staff. We visited while not many people were around and were impressed with the items on display and the entry fee was affordable.
Really love this museum! I could spend hours here alone in the library where they have tons of books featuring modern art from everywhere. Their exhibitions are also really provoking and interesting. Entrance is free for those 19 years and younger... So I will be coming back!
