Galleri Kontrast is an independent gallery in Sweden devoted to documentary photography.
It was founded in 1996 and is situated at Hornsgatan 8 in Stockholm, Sweden. The building was originally a bank in the beginning of the last century and is now a wonderful exhibition hall.
The old bank vault downstairs is housing a smaller exhibition hall where we regulary show a collection of ”Photography for sale” , and the bookstore is in the room facing the street.
Galleri Kontrast has developed a reputation as one of Swedens primary venue for documentary photography. The gallery annually shows about 1o major exhibitions and always The Swedish picture of the year and work from Nordens Fotoskola.

The Press Photographers Club (PFK) owns the gallery and the curator is Mia Klintewall. Please do not hesitate to contact Mia for more information.
