[1] The museum collection consists of many historical, social and cultural images from the 20th and 21st century, from the Netherlands and elsewhere.
The Netherlands Photo Museum was founded under the name Nederlands Foto Archief.
In 2003, it was reborn, through an endowment from Hein Wertheimer, a wealthy Dutch lawyer, and renamed to Nederlands Fotomuseum.
Visitors to the NFM[4] may browse the museum’s library of 120000 digital images, watch short films or participate in educational activities.
The museum has large exhibition rooms and a rotating display of Dutch history.
