Inspiring Work - Positive Staff - My daughter and I had a great time, our first time visiting. Highlight was Hilma af Klint The Temple VR experience. But on every floor we were inspired by images, techiniques and color pallets (hence my photo of feathers). Lots to think about. ALL of the staff were very helpful, friendly, kind, and/or knowledgeable. We will be back.

Relaxed and entertaining - The contrast between the three floors kept things interesting. Apparently each exhibit usually has approximately 3 month lifespan and are change outs are staggered. Pretty small and makes for a nice afternoon activity.

A Hidden Gem! - Awesome 6 floor photography museum! There’s a café/bar on the ground floor where you can buy drinks and CBD edibles to take with you as you walk through the museum. But if this isn’t your thing, don’t let it turn you off (I visited with my young teen.) Start at floor 5 and work your way down (the top floor is a loft where they have live music in the evenings. There’s also sometimes live music in the ground floor café/bar)

Inspirational - I was extremely captivated by the Terry O’Neil exhibit, but was emotionally moved by the Prix Pictet (fire) images.

Great exhibitions - Having visited the Stockholm site, I was very interested to visit the one in NYC. As fortune would have it, it happened to be on the second Sunday of the month which happens to be exactly when they offer discounted tickets at $10 - well worth knowing if you live in the city or are planning a visit. It was well worth the price. They had 4 exhibitions spread across 4 floors. My favourites were the People Magazine exhibit displaying some of their highlights over their 50 year history and the exhibit on the natural world and human overlap - some very thought provoking pieces there. Would visit again if I'm ever in town.

It’s really a coffee shop with some pics. - I couldn’t agree more with the low-rating reviews, this place is expensive, snooty staff and it’s really a coffee & gift shop masquerading as a museum. $30 is excessive for the admission price. On the day we visited we were told that early admission was discretionary and up to $10 for early bird entry before noon. Then we were told two floors were really only open with exhibits to the general public. In the end we basically bargained for a 2 for 1 ticket. Both floors were beautifully staged and curated like nothing I’ve seen at a museum in NYC from the lighting, wall colors, framing, subject matter and medium. This place feels like the old ABC Home store with photography. Nice gift shop and cool coffee cafe vibe. But $30 a ticket…um, no.

I’ve been to fotografiska... - I’ve been to fotografiska twice before and it was a nice awesome experience however this time it was subpar. They had two levels of pet pictures which was just too much. The third level had celebrity photos. It felt like amateur hour.
