Fotografiska Berlin is a contemporary museum for photography, art, and culture — a dynamic space where visual storytelling meets creative expression and social dialogue. Housed in a beautifully restored, landmarked building in Berlin’s creative heart, Fotografiska brings together thought-provoking exhibitions, inspiring events, and a vibrant hospitality experience under one roof.
We are more than just a museum. Fotografiska is a cultural platform that explores the intersection of art, sustainability, innovation, and human connection. Through curated exhibitions by emerging and established photographers, live programming, talks, concerts, and culinary experiences, we invite our guests to engage with the world through a more curious and conscious lens.
As part of the global Fotografiska family — with locations in Stockholm, Tallinn, and Shanghai — we are committed to creativity without boundaries, making culture accessible, and building community in everything we do.
The Role
