Hasselblad Center
The Hasselblad Center is a photography museum in Gothenburg that explores the art and history of the medium through its collections and exhibitions. The building features gallery spaces, a library with photographic materials, and areas designed for events and educational activities.
The museum was established in 1995 and takes its name from Victor Hasselblad, a Swedish camera manufacturer whose innovations shaped photographic practice. It has grown into an international hub for photography research, exhibitions, and cultural dialogue.
The museum is located in a modern building near the harbor, within walking distance of central Gothenburg. Visitors should plan time to explore the galleries, as the exhibition program changes regularly throughout the year.
The museum preserves the legacy of Victor Hasselblad and his revolutionary cameras, which were famously used by astronauts during moon missions. This connection to space exploration makes it an unexpected destination for discovering photography innovation.
