Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography

Huis Marseille is the first photography museum in Amsterdam. Since September 1999, the museum has offered a rich and varied exhibition programme that changes on average four times a year. The exhibitions are shown in two seventeenth-century canal houses in which many original details are intact, such as lavish ceiling paintings, stucco work, marble and a red period room in the style of Louis XIV. The museum also has a photo library, a specialist photo book shop and a canal garden with a historic garden house.

Speciale audiotour ‘Samen zie je meer’ kan een blinde of slechtziende bezoeker samen met een begeleider door het museum lopen. Voor bezoekers die geen trappen kunnen lopen, is de zogenoemde CoVisit-tour beschikbaar. Vanaf een speciaal ingerichte plek maken deze bezoekers een virtuele tour door het museum, terwijl hun begeleider een rondgang door het monument maakt.
