Swiss Foundation of Photography
In 2003 the Swiss Foundation of Photography moved its extensive collection from Zurich to Winterthur. Today, together with the Fotomuseum (Museum of Photography), it constitutes a highly regarded international centre of excellence for photography.
Whilst the Fotomuseum focuses on international photography, the Swiss Foundation of Photography administers the estate of Swiss photographers. It looks after an extensive collection of original photographs, presents exhibitions and releases publications on Swiss photography. The Centre for Photography, established on a former industrial site, comprises among other things a public reference library, seminar rooms, a lounge showing films on the topic of photography and the museum bistro "George". 1'300 sqm in total are available for temporary exhibitions.
