Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography , opened its doors on 18 September 1999. In its six exhibition rooms the museum presents new photo exhibitions every three months.

The programme is diverse, with an emphasis on the visual quality of the works displayed. Huis Marseille covers a broad range of genres, including all imaginable forms of photography from past and present.

Work from the collection of Huis Marseille is also shown regularly.

Since April 2003, the Huis Marseille library has been open to the public. In recent years Huis Marseille has put together a specialized collection of photography books, which now numbers around 2000 objects.
The books can not be loaned, but they are available for perusal in the library.
The library is open during visiting hours (Tues - Sunday, 11.00-18.00 hrs.).
