Médard VriendMarch 5, 2017Foam never disappoints, they always have a great selection of modern photography.
Ever changing photo exhibitions. Always something great to discover.
Jonas de GrootOctober 28, 2021Just enter the museum and enjoy the expositions. Good way to spend a lost hour.
MuseumNerdSeptember 29, 2013Don't go in the magazine gallery unless you want to subscribe. Foam magazine will suck you right in with its rich production and seductive photos.
Karolina OleśJune 30, 2013With Iamsterdam card you have entrance for free. Foam is a must see in Amsterdam.
David CoxonAugust 19, 2012Don't waste your money! There are sooo many beautiful galleries and examples of local photography everywhere. Either FOAM need to reduce the price or increase the product on view!!!
Matthew ScottSeptember 8, 2012Just go. No need to think about it. its amazing what they did with the space.
Brooke LouiseJanuary 19, 2020Really interesting, thoughtful exhibitions... Shame they aren't better at rinsing me for cash at either "shop". Missing a trick.
Valeria FerrariAugust 19, 2013Great installation about soldiers ('sleeping soldiers'). Too many pictures of 30's (not so interesting).
Design HotelsJuly 14, 2010Many interesting Photography exhibitions from international photographers. Foam is lead by a young team that organizes many events during the year! Read more

Andreas NellasNovember 24, 2013The main collection "America by Car" is a bit boring. Interesting concept, but all pictures are very similar.
Have fun looking at pictures at FOAM. Rest your feet with a cappuccino in the café afterwards and pick one of the many photo magazines to leaf through.
Victor ShchenkhSeptember 5, 2019Nothing to do here. Construction wip so half of exhibit is closed. Available works are really controversial..
