Known forphotographyartcanal houseGrachtengordel
Foam is Amsterdam's premier photography museum, occupying a beautifully converted canal house and presenting four to six rotating exhibitions simultaneously — spanning documentary, fine art, fashion, and emerging photographers. The programming is consistently excellent and internationally respected, and the bookshop is one of the best photography bookstores in Europe. It's a compact space so visits are focused; don't expect a full-day experience.
