iHoused in a pair of monumental 1665 canal houses on the Keizersgracht, Huis Marseille was the first museum in the Netherlands devoted entirely to photography as an art form. Since opening in 1999, it has built a collection of over 800 contemporary works by artists including Thomas Ruff, Andreas Gursky and Viviane Sassen, shown only through rotating temporary exhibitions rather than a fixed display, since light-sensitive photographs cannot stay up long-term. Original 17th-century features survive throughout, including a rare 1720s Louis XIV-style Red Room and a Jacob de Wit ceiling painting. The museum also runs a specialist photography library and photobook store.

A first Dutch introduction to Andrzej Steinbach's meticulously composed photography, treating seeing itself as an aesthetic problem across typologically organised series.

The French-Algerian artist's first solo Dutch museum show, presenting digital collages built from hundreds of photographs that explore migration, motherhood and displacement.

The first European museum show of a rediscovered set of 75 photographs by fashion pioneer Adolphe de Meyer, documenting his life in Venice's Palazzo Balbi-Valier between 1904 and 1909.

A spring 2027 exhibition of the German photographer August Sander, known for his portraits of Weimar-era society; the museum will publish full details later.
