Magasin 3 Stockholm (by Natalia Urbanska)

Magasin 3 is closed for summer, opens on September 11th again! (Which is soon, yes!!)

Just finding Magasin 3 is an adventure, hiding in a warehouse at the 1st floor. Standing in the large elevator you keep asking yourself if this really is the right address. It is!

Yeah it’s a bit outside of town but easy to get here thanks to the direct buses to Frihamnen. It’s so worth going! Just their little café makes the trip worth going, their cafe latte is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.

It’s very cheap and your ticket lasts the whole season. They have free guided tours every Saturday at 14.00, which I really recommend.

My favourite exhibition here so far is “Gravity, be my friend” by Pippilotti Rist’s, which was shown here last year. Downstairs you could lie down on massive cushions and watch calm and melancholic video installations in the ceiling. One was of beautifully coloured leaves falling straight on you. It was a very special feeling just laying there next to strangers, watching something simple yet so affecting.
