Dutch national photography museum in Rotterdam to open in major new building in 2025

[Alex Benjamin]

From their website:

The Dutch national photography museum, Nederlands Fotomuseum, will open in a new prime location in Rotterdam in 2025. The museum will move to a newly renovated historic warehouse situated on the Rijnhaven harbour, providing a new home for the national collection of over six million photographs.

The eight-story building will include dedicated exhibition spaces, permanent facilities to house the collection, a photography bookshop and library, education rooms, museum café and a rooftop restaurant with a panoramic view of the Rotterdam skyline. The acquisition of the new building fulfils the Nederlands Fotomuseum’s longstanding commitment to developing a dynamic meeting place and an international platform for photography.

I really wish there was a "dynamic meeting place and international platform for photography" in Canada. That we have no single museum or space devoted to photography is a bit shameful.

I had hopes for the old American Embassy, but ours politicians just are not motivated, even shutting down the old space at the side of the Chateau Laurier.
