Stunning photos in a stunning building! I really prefer this museum over the more well known FOAM!

I visited while The Sacrifice Zone by Eddo Hartmann and an exposition of Tarrah Krajnak were on display. The first was my favorite with great photos and storytelling. Krajnak’s exposition was a bit more artsy but definitely worth seeing.

They also have a nice gift shop with some cool merch for the real fans!

Small photography museum on the Keizersgracht. Located in two beautifully restored (17th century?) houses. All rooms are located on the different floors in the houses, connected by small staircases (I believe there's an elevator too. Nice exhibitions. Not overloaded with visitors, which is good. 😊

After FOAM, I wasn’t expecting to find another photography museum. A great space, wonderful photography library where you can sit and browse, and a cozy little garden in the back to catch your breath.

Located within the "9 Streets" area, Huis Marseilles on Keizergracht canal consists of two monumental 17th century canals houses which together form the city's oldest photography museum. It was also the first museum of its kind in the Netherlands when it opened its doors in 1999.

The museum offers a superb collection ever changing photographs from outstanding local and international photographers which are displayed across 14 exhibition areas. There is normally a new collection every 3 months. Huis Marseilles also has regular showings from its own collection of contemporary photography.

The museum is worth a visit simply to admire the glorious merchant houses dating back to 1665 and retaining many of the original features. The garden at the rear is a virtual oasis of peace. There is a small garden house which is also an exhibition area.

The library and book shop are also worth a visit.

The original building owes its name to a plaque still in existence at the front which was erected by the original owner who arrived at the city by boat from Marseilles and went on to accumulate his riches.

This is wonderful photo museum located in 17th century buildings. It is an experience. The layout of the displays on different floor and in a variety of rooms. It invites to you to slow down and take in the art.
Beautiful variety of sizes in the 13 galleries.
There are a lot stairs

If you are into photography this is going to be a magical experience for you! Visited in April 2018 and the shows were simply amazing. So many artists such a good citation and a holistic approach. The supportive text was also good giving context to the photographs. Lastly, the interior of the building is so so so impressive that makes the whole experience even better! Plus they have nice and friendly staff, happy to help with large groups, students, lockers etc.

Nice museum. One of the smaller museums in Amsterdam, but a very nice venue. The museum occupies two canal houses, giving visitors also the opportunity to take a closer look at those houses from the inside. The museum regularly features great photography exhibitions.

Visited this museum late August and really enjoyed how they set up every space. The whole building and gardens are very authentic Amsterdam which is reason enough for a visit. It surprised me that the exhibition went beyond just photography.

Beautiful exhibits in a charming traditional Dutch building. Each room brings its own light and atmosphere which complete immerses you in the artist’s view. The back of the building has a small garden in which you can take a moment to appreciate calmness in a busy day. The museum
itself is not as busy as the Van Gogh or the Risjk, so I highly recommend it to people who don’t enjoy large crowds.

This is a small photography museum made inside an old Dutch house. The shows are usually really good and well curated. Check what’s on and look up the artist before going as there is no permanent collection. The old house is also amazing on its own with the beautiful design and the cascading trees outside the window. Don’t miss details like the glass chandeliers

One of the leading museums of photography in Amsterdam, located in a historic building on the gracht. Very pleasant and inspiring to visit, due to the interesting space and carefully selected exhibits, showing the best in photography rather than catering to the popular taste. Exhibits a wide variety of styles, topics and eras.

It is a pleasant building, the works consist mainly of black and white photographs, I liked the story and curatorial process of the exhibition. It's up to you, but I visited in 40 minutes.

Three weeks on and I still remember how much that gallery affected me. How it almost moved me as a space, if that's even possible. The show that was on wasn't of any personal interest but the building...intimate, quiet, imposing but not intrusive, it was a joy to walk in. And those massive windows, they made me feel like I was in a house that I wanted to get very comfortable in. It doesn't look it but it's a massive space split up in two buildings and the up and down of stairs adds a 'getting lost' sense that in a space like that is very welcome. It's a unique experience and I'll definitely add it to my necessary stops list next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Nicely restored house at one of the most famous canals in Amsterdam where you'll find exhibitions of Photography Art. We visited an Exposition on Photography and Fashion and enjoyed the high quality of the pictures as well as the way they were exposes. It's not crowded by tourist and you can take all the time in the world to enjoy this place.

When went to see the work of Samuel Fosso which was amazing! The only thing was the lightning Huis Marseille. It could have been better you saw a lot of reflections on the pictures.

I really like this museum for the beautiful building and the choice of artists. I love photography and this is the right place to be. Usually quite quiet as well.
