It’s not common practice for a museum to cater to the earlybirds. But that will all change come 1 jun. For anyone interested in both rising early AND the art of photography, the Museum of Photography in Stockholm will open at 7 AM and close at 9 PM at the earliest seven days a week until 31 August. The only day the museum is closed is Midsummer’s Eve, 22 June.

This summer’s exhibitions include Swedish author, playwright and artist August Strindberg, American photographer Sally Mann and photographies telling the story of the Olympic Games. The Museum of Photography also offers a variety of activities such as classes in photography, after work, music et.c. And 6 June, Sweden’s national day, the brig Tre Kronor (Three Crowns) will anchor outside of the museum. Visitors are welcome aboard the brig and to go for a short sailing trip. Make sure to book in advance.

One of Sweden’s best chefs, a former member of the Swedish Culinary Team, Paul Svensson, runs the museum’s restaurant and coffee shop and invites you to breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course, the traditional Swedish Fika (fika is both a verb and noun that roughly means “to drink coffee”). For more info about the museum click here.
