Visit Foam, Amsterdam's photography museum in a graceful canalside house. Wander the airy atrium and its changing exhibitions, then browse the shop's photo books and magazine archive.

📖

Full description

Foam is Amsterdam's photography museum, housed in an 18th-century canal house with a bright atrium that suits its rotating exhibitions. Reviewers call the programme consistently strong, with several shows running at once, and regular visitors return for each new season.

The museum shop carries a wide choice of photo books and a large selection of Foam Magazine back issues. Prices are considered fair for the quality on show, and there is a large locker room.

It is an easy fit for a morning or afternoon in the canal ring, and it stays open into the evening on some days.

Reviews

Beautiful atrium building organized perfectly for exhibitions. Good price for the works to watch in there. Wide choice of photo books and photo souvenirs in the museum shop. Big locking room. Best time to visit is before 14, after there are more people around.
