The Hague Museum of Photography opened its doors in December 2002. It is part of the
Gemeentemuseum The Hague and works closely with the
The Room of prints Leiden - study and documentation center for photography / Prentenkabinet Leiden.
Every year, the museum organises around six exhibitions covering a wide range of periods, disciplines and genres in the history of photography, often focusing on people.
Contemporary names such as Desiree Dolron, Gregory Crewdson and Loretta Lux alternate with classic photographers such as Emmy Andriesse, Edward S. Curtis and Leonard Freed. The museum annually hosts the exhibition of the Silver Camera, the award for press photography in the Netherlands.
Contact person: Wim van Sinderen is curator of the museum and can be contacted for information. Wim van Krimpen is director.
