Fotomuseum Winterthur

Fotomuseum Winterthur is a photography and contemporary art museum in Mattenbach spread across two connected buildings. The exhibition space contains rooms displaying historical and modern photographic works from its collection.

The museum was founded in 1993 and grew into an important photography center in Switzerland. A significant partnership with Fotostiftung Schweiz later expanded the exhibition space considerably.

The museum showcases works from well-known photographers and tells the story of photography through its collections. Visitors can see how photography has evolved and what role it plays in the art world.

The museum is accessible by car or public transportation and has wheelchair-accessible entrances for all visitors. It is helpful to check current opening hours in advance since the museum regularly changes its exhibitions.

Each January the museum hosts a platform where emerging photographers can present their work to industry experts and collectors. This event gives visitors a chance to discover new talent in photography.
