Fotografiska New York Explained

Fotografiska New York is a branch of the Swedish photography museum Fotografiska in Gramercy Park, Manhattan, New York City. The museum's home is the Church Missions House, a six-story, 45000ft2 Romanesque Revival landmark.[1] [2] [3] It opened in December 2019.[3]

In addition to galleries, the museum was home to Veronika, a restaurant operated by Stephen Starr.[4] Open for a few months before it paused due to the coronavirus pandemic, Veronika at Fotografiska Museum, according to Time Out was a "high profile, gilded restaurant" that "never truly got going again." It closed on September 1, 2021. A different restaurant subsequently reopened under the same name in the space.

On May 23, 2024, Fotografiska announced it would relocate to an as yet unannounced location as of September 29, 2024. The restaurant and Chapel Bar announced a June 2024 closing date.[5]
