Huis Marseille lets photography clash with a canal house

Changing photography exhibitions fill two seventeenth-century buildings with ceiling paintings, a library, a photobook shop and a garden.

Plan your visit ↗

A series across several rooms

Photos gain meaning through sequence and the transition between rooms. Follow one series from beginning to end and see where architecture or daylight interrupts or reinforces the reading.

Historic ceiling above contemporary image

The monumental interiors can be seen alongside photography from other times and places. Compare one room in which building and work support each other with one in which tension arises.

Regular exhibition changes

The museum closes for a few days while exhibitions are being installed. A regular daily schedule therefore does not guarantee access just before an opening; check the current exhibition calendar.

Before you go

Daily 10.00–18.00, Thursday until 21.00; closed on installation days and open until 17.00 on 31 December.
