This year Nederlands Fotomuseum will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. We will celebrate it not alone, we are celebrating it with you. Are you coming to our big photo party? From July 8th to 10 September 10th you will discover the collection in a way you have never seen it before. A vibrant summer program with summer classes, children’s activities, summer evenings and of course photos… lots and lots of photos.
We will make a toast together to our Gallery of Dutch Photography, treat you all to delicious images and last but not least, the photo polonaise cannot be missed. For this party, more than 1200 photos +1 images that the public has added to the Gallery of Dutch Photography as its hundredth photo over the past two years will be highlighted. There will also be three other exhibitions. By the Fotobond, a Dutch Photography Platform. Theater Rotterdam, who organized a photo competition around the performance of The Story of Travis. And ‘Getekend door het leven’ will be present. They let young people tell their stories through tattoos, poetry and photography.
The Gallery of Honour, that’s you!
The Gallery of Honour contains 99 photos, carefully selected by an independent committee. But those who choose always leave something out. That is why there is one blank frame in the Gallery of Honour. As a symbol of what has not been noticed, appreciated, chosen. And what that symbol is, you decide! In this exhibition, we show – for the first time – all the images added to the Gallery of Honour by visitors over the past two years: the +1 images. Come and see them, arrange them, move them and create your own story.
Add another image yourself? In the Gallery of Honour, you can upload a digital image via the app, which will instantly appear on the screen.
Summer Nights @ Nederlands Fotomuseum
