The Nederlands Fotomuseum provides access to its 90,000 images in a playful and informative manner. On the basis of images, texts, sounds and films you discover the stories behind the photographs and navigate through decades of Dutch photography and history. There is always something useful and surprising to experience for visitors of all ages.
get cracking
In a central space on the first floor of the museum there is audio-visual equipment with which you can get cracking yourself. Here a changing and growing offer of information and stories is served up. The conditions under which photographers worked, their times and the way that their photographs have been thought about over the years – everything comes to life here. Artists and designers specialised in new media are being commissioned by the museum to create integrated presentations.

other eyes
A permanent fixture is the apparatus designed by the media artist Geert
Mul, which you can use to project selections from the museum’s
collection onto a large screen. Do you only want to see photographs
from the 1950s? Only photographs with ships? By just one particular
photographer? It’s all possible. You can even use combined search
terms. Another permanent item is Talking images – you select a
photograph and then listen to the story about it. New worlds open for
you as you the stories make you look at the photographs with very
different eyes. You learn and experience at the same time.
