Museums and bad weather are made for each other and I’m still buzzing with the dreamy photography of Sarah Moon that has an almost painterly quality.

Fotografiska Museet (the Museum of Photography) Fotografiska, is dedicated to contemporary, world-class photography. The museum is housed in a former custom house dating from 1906 designed by Ferdinand Boberg in the Art Nouveau style and is one of the world’s largest museums of to photography.
