Museum Exhibits This Winter/Spring

Entrance to Fotografiska

I visited the photography museum Fotografiska (a favorite!) yesterday to see the Aitor Ortiz exhibition of haunting black & white photographs. Loved it... very architectural and thought provoking. This exhibition is going on until March 4th. Other exhibitions at Fotografiska include Norwegian photographer Margaret M. de Lange (also until March 4th) and the upcoming (and much anticipated) Anton Corbijn exhibition (Jan 14th to April 15th).

And keep your eyes open this summer for their Yoko Ono exhibition... should be great!
