Can I make an album on Facebook public without it showing in my newsfeed?

It's hard to guarantee it won't show up in your newsfeed.

If you upload the pictures as private to "Only me", and change the privacy to "Friends" or "Public", there won't be a story created about you changing the privacy setting of the album. So it will fly under the radar to an extent.

But it's hard to guarantee it. If you have friends who have very few other friends they will probably see it anyway. If someone finds it and comments on it, it will become a news story. It is a good idea to wait for at least a week after uploading to change the privacy level as that might make it "old news" and less likely to turn up.
