Huis Marseille
The Huis Marseille is a photography museum in Amsterdam. It opened in 1999.
Huis Marseille was the first photography museum in the Netherlands when it opened in 1999; the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, the Fotomuseum Den Haag in The Hague, and FOAM in a nearby building have opened since.[1] The museum is housed in a residence built around 1665 for a French merchant, and contains 13 exhibition spaces and a restored room in Louis XIV style; the building was restored and the museum extended into the adjacent building in 2007–2013.[2][3]
Exhibitions generally use the entire space and have mostly featured documentary photography.[1] They have included Rob Hornstra's Sochi Project,[1] photographs of Kyoto by Jacqueline Hassink,[2] Sarkis' Ring Portraits,[4] work by Juul Kraijer,[5] and various photographers' works portraying dance.[6][7]
