Nederlands Fotomuseum

The Nederlands Fotomuseum showcases photography in the broadest sense of the word, from an artistic form of expression through to a medium of social commentary. The museum has nearly four million negatives, as well as an expert photo restoration studio.

The Nederlands Fotomuseum was once based in the former building of the Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant newspaper on the Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam. In April 2007 the museum moved to Las Palmas, the former workshop complex of the Holland-America Line on the Kop van Zuid, the trendy Rotterdam left bank. The collection comprises three million negatives and a large quantity of slides, prints and document, not only embracing the history of Dutch photography, but also presenting more than a century of Dutch history in images. The museum holds varying expositions on all forms of photography throughout the year.
