t External exhibition at the Foam Museum

Three elegant 17th-century canal houses on the Keizersgracht have been joined together and beautifully renovated to create this labyrinth of modern rooms filled with photographs. Over 20,000 visitors flock here annually, making it the most-visited photography museum in the Netherlands by far.

Foam (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam) is dedicated to exhibiting and celebrating every form of photography, from historical to journalistic, cutting-edge to artistic. The museum has an international outlook – photographs exhibited here are taken all over the world by photographers from a variety of cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

The museum holds four major exhibitions a year and 15 smaller ones, showcasing both established figures of the art form and emerging local talent. Exhibitions at Foam have included Annie Leibovitz’s “American Music”, a retrospective on Henri Cartier-Bresson and “50 Years of World Press Photo”.

More than just a museum, though, Foam prides itself on being an interactive centre for photography, a place where amateurs can learn more about the art by meeting professionals, attending lectures and taking part in discussion evenings, or just stop for a coffee and a browse of the well-stocked bookshop. Foam also hosts pop-up exhibitions in different neighbourhoods to make photography accessible to all.
