Fotomuseet Olympia

This is one of Sweden’s foremost photography museums. Thousands of cameras, photography accessories and images are displayed in a unique and beautiful setting. The Olympia Photo Museum can be found in Falkenberg's first cinema hall, which opened in 1912. Today, the premises have been restored to its former glory. The exhibits document and showcase the development of photography from 1840 onwards. Emphasis is on the many unique cameras from different eras. You’ll discover classic studio cameras on wooden stands, miniature cameras and the very first amateur cameras along with stereo photography equipment. You can literally follow the progress of photography – from 150 years ago, all the way to present day. The museum has a large collection of pictures from Falkenberg and also houses a permanent exhibition with pictures by Gillis Häägg and Lennart Nilsson.
