About The National Museum of Photography

We have been taking photographs for more than 150 years. And have captured our impressions of reality. The National Museum of Photography displays it all - from the earliest photo-chemical experiments to pictoralism, Neue Sachlichkeit, press photography and private photo albums to the contemporary experimental photo and video art. In addition, the museum has one of Northern Europe's finest collections of photographs from throughout the whole history of photography.
