"Las Palmas – the former workshop building of the shipping company Holland America Line – now houses the Dutch Foto Museum. The museum focusses on all forms of photography and regularly displays its own productions. The museum is a source of inspiration, research, inspiring exhibitions and publications. Las Palmas also houses two other cultural organisations: LPII, a space for urban culture and SKVR Photography & Media, a public place for locals to explore their ambition in the areas of photography, video and digital media." - Rodesk

This fascinating, and the most important photography museum in the Netherlands, is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the city. All exhibitions are not permanent except The Gallery of Honour of Dutch Photography: a permanent exhibit of 99 iconic images that together tell the story of 180 years of photographic history. The museum offers 5 to 7 exhibitions per year. Highly recommended.

A big museum with different exhibitions. Upstairs is library. The place is spacious, the current exhibition was interesting but not very charming. Visiting regularly can give you more insights. The toilet smells very good.

Great exhibition, kind personnel and very spacious. If you are looking to feel photography, try this place out. It left an imprint on me.

I Really enjoyed it. The Staff were very helpful and also spoke very good English. On my arrival I didn't have to que. (Tuesday). A small locker was provided for me to put my things in whilst looking around the gallery. I was given a small descriptive booklet on each photo presented in the gallery. I was in a rush before my Eurostar home so I couldn't stay as long as I intended. This booklet was great, I could look back at it and read the small descriptive text on each photo whilst traveling home. I'm pretty sure they have a few copies Of the booklets in other languages. There is also a decent sized shop with loads of photography books and prints for sale.

Very close to Erasmus Bridge, this museum has a very nice collection from Dutch photographers. When I visited there was an exhibition on Ad Van Denderen called En Route. Also an exhibition called This One Is For You Serra by Monica Nouwens. The last temporary exhibit was Womxn. More Than a Muse by Sebiha Ozlas. Then there is a permanent exhibition of the Hall of Fame of Dutch Photography. Overall this was a nice museum and would recommend if you have a museum card.

Great but quite a small museum.

This Dutch museum for photography has a huge collection of top class photographs from top class photographers. So can can draw from this collection to make very interesting exhibitions which never disappoint. The location is in the part of where an old busy port of Rotterdam used to be and the museum is housed in one of the old warehouses from that time. The whole area is now full of restaurants, hotels and there is the cruise terminal. With the so called Museumkaart you can get in for free so when you are planning to visit more museums in The Netherlands it may be a good idea to get one as normal entry prices are sometimes very high.

We expected a lot from the collections and were very dissappointed. No english translations and no discount for disabled people. Cannot recommend.
