I'm sorry. I love art. I love photography. But I thought this was the most disappointing gallery I have ever seen. Luckily, it's only ten minutes long and didn't waste too much valuable time. Now,I'll try to be fair in case I am being ignorant. I went on the 2nd May 2013 when there may have been a crap display.... More

Foam is not a traditional museum. There is no old camera's or stuff about the history of photography. You can see exabitions of pictures. We went to see an exabition of a japanes photographer who did a tour with a translator to explain the picturdes she made. It was really very intresting. In general it is not the type of... More

I am very interested in photography but found myself left empty. Thanks to the misleading name, we expected a museum, but instead found a gallery. The content was interesting enough and obviously, at any given time, one shouldn't judge a gallery on it's exhibits as they might not appeal. However, I felt this place lacked so much. Making allowance for... More

If you're into all aspects of photography: fine art, documentary, historical and contemporary, go and see this exhibition.

There was an interesting exhibit when we went, but the relatively small size of the museum make it hard for them to display very much at any one time. My daughter (age 12) is getting interested in photography so we went, but she was a bit disappointed. She said, "I didn't know it would *just* be pictures; I thought it... More

FOAM is a Photographic gallery situated in a lovely canalside building which I always try to visit when in Amsterdam. The exhibitions change regularly and it's a good idea to google what's on if you like photography. The latest exhibition we visited last weekend was about Russian photography well presented and stimulating. There are even English translations in each room... More

The place is quite nice, though I didn't really like the actual exhibition. To me it was a bit too historical than aesthetical...

FOAM is a must stop for anyone interested in photography exhibitions. The shows are always involving and remarkable. Located most conveniently on Keizersgracht, just past Vijzelstraat, the gallery is housed in a converted mansion; floors spill over floors, and end at the top in a wonderful library, a small aerie with delicious views out to the canal below. What I... More

I agree with another reviewer - this is more of a gallery than a museum. There are some merits to this museum - there was an exhibition on Russian art which I found facinating. However, there is too little information about many of the pictures. For my kind - the less artistically-inclined, this leaves far too much to the imagination.... More
