Just finding Magasin 3 in Stockholm is an adventure, hiding in a warehouse at the 1rst 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! 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. The Christian Boltanski exhibition was excellent last year.

The Lobby is large and light and the rooms are in different sizes. My favourite room is the one downstairs, the largest room. Doesn’t matter what exhibition it is, I always feel overwhelmed just stepping inside. I guess it’s the scale or the amount of art that sweeps me of my feet.

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.
