Inside the
Foam Museum
Foam is thé spot in Amsterdam for photography in all its appearances: from documentary to fashion, from modern to historical. The museum airs great international impact. Apart from large exhibitions featuring the work of (world) famous photographers Foam also presents the work of young talents in smaller, trendy and fast changing exhibitions. Foam is a museum for photography that fits the city of Amsterdam: inspiring, accessible, uncomplicated yet critical. But Foam is more than a museum. It is located at Keizersgracht, but sometimes on different spots. In the Foam magazine, on the street, abroad or on tour. Foam is a constant inspiration; at times with large expositions, then in intimate showings. Foam offers opportunity to talks, concentration and study. The offer is broad with eye for details.

KNSM island
Jo Coenen is responsible for the design of the KNSM island, which was drawn in 1989. He chose to give this project a monumental appeal, with large horizontals and huge volumes. Architects from Germany, Belgium and Switzerland participated. Some names are Kollhoff and Rapp, Bruno Albert, Tordoir and Diener & Diener. The combination of ancient and new designs provides the perfect mix for a next generation. You can take a walk on the wild side and experience the broad lanes, monumental buildings, extraordinary bridges and agoras; a unique view of Amsterdam.

The characteristic
façade of the museum
Our Lord in the Attic is one of the oldest and most remarkable museums in Amsterdam. Behind the characteristic façade of the house by the canal lies a largely original 17th-century home and a complete hidden church. This hidden church 'in the attic' was built during the Reformation, when Catholics were forbidden to hold public services. Today, the church and the house form the backdrop to a succession of striking exhibitions highlighting religion and contemporary art.
