The Netherlands' most popular photography museum (200,000 visitors a year, and counting) hosts large-scale international photography exhibitions, alongside smaller shows for up-and-coming artists. World-renowned Dutch photographers such as Inez van Lamsweerde, Vinoodh Matadin, Hendrik Kerstens, and Rineke Dijkstra have all had shows here. The shop, café, small library, and museum have a dramatically contemporary interior.
This cutting-edge contemporary photography museum is housed in 14 exhibition rooms of a gorgeous 17th-century canal house and its neighbor. Originally owned by a merchant who earned his wealth from a ship that sailed from Marseille, there's still a gable stone that depicts a map of the French port for which the house was named. The widest possible range of genres is covered by new shows every three months. There are also thousands of photography books in the library.
