Foam is the place in Amsterdam for photography in all its forms: from documentary to fashion, from contemporary to historic. A museum with international aspirations. Next to large-scale exhibitions showing the work of (world)famous photographers, Foam also shows the work of upcoming artists in smaller and shorter running exhibitions.

Foam is a museum for photography, an addition to the city of Amsterdam: inspiring, accessible, simple, yet critical. But Foam is more than just a museum. You can find Foam at the Keizersgracht, but sometimes also in other places. In Foam Magazine, out in the streets, abroad or on tour.

Foam is a continuing source of inspiration, to be enjoyed at different speeds. Large-scale exhibitions are interspersed with smaller, quickly alternating shows. Foam instigates lively debates about photography, but also provides the possibility for concentration and study. Foam presents a wide variety of images, without losing sight of details. Alongside showing the big names in photography, Foam also provides opportunities for upcoming artists.

Foam features surprising combinations, because it presents the quality of photography in all its forms: autonomous, documentary and applied, historic and contemporary.

Foam collaborates with other organisations and companies, both to realise Foam's ambitions and because it fits in with Foam's belief in accessibility. Collaboration provides an opportunity for a broad public to experience the power of photography. 

Foam documents and stimulates the development of photography. Photographers, picture editors, designers and others working in the industry can find a meeting place and inspiration in Foam. 

Foam is open and everyone can now enjoy photography.
