"Set inside two grand 17th-century canal houses is Huis Marseille, the oldest photography museum in the Netherlands. But don’t be fooled: Despite the building’s Golden Age heritage, with rooms featuring original marble fireplaces and 18th-century ceiling frescoes, this museum is all about contemporary photography. Though this private museum counts 750 photographs by leading talents like Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky, and Andres Serrano in its permanent collection, they aren't always on view. Works alternate among the 14 galleries, which are largely given over to temporary exhibits by established and emerging photographers. With such a small size, you will be in and out in no time." - Clodagh Kinsella, Jennifer Ceaser
