It is not a museum because it has no collections,[1] does not conduct research and is for-profit.[2] It is not a member of either Swedish ICOM[3] or Riksförbundet Sveriges museer.[4]

Details

Fotografiska has 5500 m2 of exhibition spaces, an academy, bistro, café, bar, conference rooms, museum shop, gallery, and event spaces.

Fotografiska is housed at Stadsgården, in a former customs house[5] in the Art Nouveau style dating from 1906. Designed by Ferdinand Boberg, the building is listed as of cultural interest. The original brick facade is intact, while the interiors have been renovated to house the centre. The city of Stockholm has funded the 250 million SEK restoration costs.

gollark: Macron 9, due to popular demand, readds pointers, but has no mechanism for deallocating anything.
gollark: Macron 8 actually just doesn't let you have pointers, which fixes all the ownership hassle.
gollark: It's a very good garbage collector definitely not stolen from Java.
gollark: Macron actually uses a garbage collector.
