Streets of the World: a former photo venue in Zaandam

The Streets of the World Photo Museum on the Hembrug site has been permanently closed since 2018. The photography project exists independently of this former venue.

Street life as a subject

The project by Jeroen Swolfs brought together street photos from a wide range of countries. The images offered a way of looking at everyday surroundings side by side. This description is about the project and is not a current exhibition at Hembrug.

A display that travelled on

After the Zaandam period, the work was shown in other ways, including outdoor exhibitions. Such venues and programmes need to be looked up separately. An old photo of the museum space does not tell you where the collection can be seen now.

No return to the warehouse

The former venue was a warehouse on the Hembrug site. No museum schedule applies there any more for Streets of the World. Only use a new announcement with a current location and dates as the basis for visiting the project.

Before you go

The Zaandam museum venue is permanently closed; do not visit the old address on the basis of historical guide information.
