If you're a fan of photography go to Foam! It was a good sized museum with 3 exhibitions when I was there but could be done in just a few hours. Not too crowded and has coat check/free lockers
Possibly my favorite museum in Amsterdam . I've seen many beautiful photography exhibitions here, and the building itself is worth checking out too.
Art museum focused in photography . Very trendy place , you will spot some hipsters . They have gift shop , café , library . I was there in January and got to se both Vivian Maier and Araki. Amazing work!
We saw the Swinging Sixties London exhibition . It was well crafted and showed the new glamour of the time. Good little cafe on the bottom floor too.
Renowned photography museum housed in a monumental canal house. Four exhibitions at any time showing works from young and confirmed artists
Great photography museum and the most well known photography museum of Amsterdam. When you like this, don't forget to check out the other photography museum , Huis Marseille.
One of my favourite museums in Amsterdam . Definitely worth a visit, if you are a photographer or if you simply love photographs as art .
I had high expectations but I liked only one of the three exhibitions . I wanted to see more experimental techniques and hidden stories of everyday life captured by different photographers ’ lenses.
Photomuseum. Sometimes the expositions are awesome, sometimes they suck, but I always like to be here in the building.
Great museum for photography lovers. They offer the best photo exhibitions in town . Check out their website to see what exhibitions they have or are coming up.
One of favorite places in Amsterdam! Great pictures and the cafe has delicious drinks and... Cakes :)
Saw London in the Swinging Sixties photography exhibition recently, which was great! It's a cool venue with good facilities.
Great museum and fantastic building. Don't forget to visit the shop which is full of gifts perfect for design fanatics and art lovers.
Immensely enjoyed the current Magnum Contact Sheet exhibit , replete with the ability to look at the BACK of the images. Very inspiring. Top show???????? #cglifestyle #photography #foursquarefind
One of my favourite museums . Changeling exhibitions only, no permanent collection. Visit and re-visit whenever you can and do not miss their annex in Felix Meritis.
Amazing photographic museum , the glass block bridges and 3rd floor library are stunning, plus brilliant exhibitions ...
Great gallery of Mr. Araki. Very touching. Although with small corridors and a lot of stairs, the place feels very artistic and complements the artwork.
Check out the Frame Store , a joint project with Frame Publishers and Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam which functions as an events and exhibitions venue... Read more
Great photography museum , they often have new installations and exhibitions . The café and the store are also really good - amazing posters for less than €8

A brilliant photography museum with a lot to learn and explore. If you're a photographer or just love photography check it out.
Saw the beautiful French photographer Jacques Lartigue exposition and a very intriguing presentation of the Blanco photos by Dutch photographer Awoiska van der Molen
So worth visiting! Stunning photographs , fascinating how you can see original works so closely.
The photography museum of Amsterdam is a great place to spend a rainy afternoon. They always have interesting exhibitions .
spend an hour some afternoon here, maybe get an espresso in the cafe . some great points of inspiration, especially in style and technique
Lovely museum on the canals . The cafe in the basement is worth checking out. Quality of the exhibits can be erratic.
Contemporary photography is the name of the game. If the line to enter stretches out the door, don't panic. It moves quickly, unlike at the Anne Frank house.
Great for popping in to get a quick inspiration fix and a cup of coffee !
3 fantastic exhibitions . All very different frameworks that build to a true picture of reale photography through different cultures & times.
Great museum , interesting expositions . Never gets boring, great books in their shop.
Cozy photo museum ; very Amsterdam-like layout with tiny halls and narrow staircases. Changes exhibition every 2 months or so
They have different exhibits all the time so check what's on before going.
Foam supplies a fantastic spread of interesting exhibitions . My favorite Amsterdam museum . In love
Nice installations, when you up as a kite
Really loved the exhibitions ! The museum has a complicated but charming structure of an old house.
One of the best photography museums I've ever been! Great collection
Not as big as you would expect. But the look&feel of the museum compensates it. Great structure and use of the different rooms.
Really enjoyed the exhibits , if you don't linger too long you can do the museum in an hour.
Interesting museum , Museumkaart holders can go in for free, photography and art !
One of my favourite museums in town . Great bookshop too.
Always good to get inspired by some disruptive photography . Don't miss the top floor second expo!
Interesting exhibitions . Worth a visit
Overpriced for the amount of space available for exhibitions . The amount of space they do have is not used very effectively. It's also safe to say the curator's tastes differ greatly with mine.
Great photography museum with a diverse selection of exhibits on at any one time.
Best foto museum of amsterdam, rich program, worth the visit!
Always cool exhibitions , not too expensive and best photography museum in Amsterdam
Excellent photography galley - worth a detour
Lovely museum . Great guides. A must see.
Another great museum with various collections to explore! The courtyard is a great place to relax, have drink and read a book! - Thetis T
The architecture is amazing , the space is very inspiring and easy to navigate . Very nice exhibitions if you're into modern art . - Tonia Imperfect
Well-curated exhibitions for those who love photography. In contrast to the big museums, nice and compact. Located in a beautiful historic building - already that is worth a visit in itself. - Ieva
convenient little cafe and decent quality coffee and other drinks. pleasant and attentive service. - Bernard VAN DE VEN
Very nice and fancy canal house, of one of the wealthiest families in Amsterdam, with a long tradition of influence in local government and important business. Great garden to rest after the visit! - Adrián Moreno
Very famous works of art, in a beautiful building. Recommend the guided tour books for children. They are great - Marieke Brinks
