Foam: photography in many directions

Foam on the Keizersgracht presents changing photography exhibitions. Historical and contemporary photography, documentary images and other genres may appear side by side in the programme.

Plan your visit ↗

Reading a photograph

Besides the subject, take framing, light and viewpoint into account as you look. The accompanying text can help you understand how the photographer selects images and brings them together in a series.

More than one exhibition

The different presentations may each take a different approach. Check the current overview and divide your time so that a large exhibition does not automatically push smaller parts of the programme into the background.

Photobooks as a complement

The bookshop and café are mentioned alongside the galleries. A photobook can offer a different way of ordering images than a wall display, depending on what is available.

Before you go

Check the actual opening after the announced renovation period. Some galleries and passageways are less accessible; discuss in advance which route is feasible.
