Last Saturday, in Shanghai, the famous museum of modern photography Fotografiska opened its first branch in Asia, becoming the fifth in the world. The official opening of this cult institution took place on October 21.

At the start of the museum's work in Shanghai, visitors were greeted by a whole gallery of expositions that combined unique documentary photography, exquisite urban aesthetics and genre experiments. You can already see the works of such prominent photographers as Feng Li, known for his work in the field of street and fashion photography, Edward Burtynsky, who is famous for shooting industrial landscapes, Chinese photo artist Fan Xi, and Hong Kong artist Samson Young.

In addition to exciting exhibitions, Fotografiska Shanghai offers its guests a luxurious design shop where you can buy works by contemporary artists, as well as a restaurant and lounge bar with a wonderful view of the river.

The world museum Fotografiska, which appeared in Stockholm 13 years ago, is expanding its network and already has branches in Tallinn, New York, Berlin and now in Shanghai. Entering the Asian continent, this unique museum guarantees new experiences and a fresh perspective on the world of photography for locals and visitors to the city.
