Huis Marseille

The Huis Marseille photography museum has been located in a 17th century canal house on the north bank of the Keisersgracht canal since 1999. In 2013 the museum was expanded to include the neighbouring building, providing it with a total of 14 exhibition spaces. The museum takes it's name from its building, built in 1655 for a wealthy French merchant, Isaac Focquier.

In addition to an exhibition programme, with generally four major exhibitions each year, the museum holds over 500 photographs. It has a special interest in contemporary Dutch, South African and Japanese work. These are not displayed permanently, but this collection can be viewed on the Huis Marseille website.

The museum also houses a library of photography books, and a shop selling books and postcards.
