Planning your visit

Falsterbo Photo Art Museum brings a level of international photography to a small Swedish seaside town that its size would not predict. Falsterbo sits at the far south-western tip of Sweden, on a sandy peninsula known mainly for beaches, golf and one of Europe's major bird migration bottlenecks — and since the museum opened it has exhibited original prints by significant international photographers, with a particular strength in fashion photography alongside documentary and contemporary art work.

Exhibitions rotate rather than sitting permanently, so the programme is the reason to visit and checking what is showing matters. The building includes a bistro, and the museum functions as a cultural venue for the area with talks and events alongside the shows.

The setting is a substantial part of the appeal: the Falsterbo peninsula in summer is a particular kind of Swedish holiday landscape, and the museum pairs naturally with beach time and the nature reserve at the point, where migrating raptors funnel through in autumn in remarkable numbers.

It is around forty minutes from Malmo by car, and reachable from Copenhagen across the Oresund bridge in about an hour. The main booking is an entry ticket, with guided tours of current exhibitions available. Current availability is listed below.
