Another stop included on our IAmsterdam City Card was the Foam Amsterdam Photography Exhibition.
I would definitely recommend this and would go back to spend more time. We saw the fantastic exhibition 'New York Times Magazine Photographs'
It was really impressive with an extensive section on 9/11...the effects in New York and in Afghanistan.

There were also many brilliant photographs from behind the scenes at fashion shows; and portrait pieces of actors and artists featured in the New York Times.

We saw lots of stills that had been taken from movies and enhanced. But one of my favourite parts of the exhibition which I will try to find, was a selection of 'portrait short films' showing various well known actors in 60 second contemporary art pieces. Really fascinating, I think there were about 30 in total.

Another brilliant section was by Bertien van Manen - Let's Sit Down Before We go; pictures taken in Russia between 1991 and 2009 showing families in random day to day snaps.
Foam Amsterdam is on Keizergracht 609, tram 16, 24 or 25
