Marc Perquin Review of Huis Marseille
As a dutch photography freelancer and general cult...
As a dutch photography freelancer and general culture addict I am used to photography museums and galleries, but I have never seen a building like Huis Marseille. It's a privilege to watch photographs in an former assembly room for example. The unique structure of this house is amazing, especially the passages. Each of the six exhibition spaces has its own specific character and you definitely have to seen it by yourself. You will find a library, media kitchen (with a coffee machine), a lovely garden and a typical dutch garden house. At the same time if you are looking for a combination of a photography museum and exploring typical dutch construction work of canal houses you are at the right spot.
The amount of 8 euro's (full price) or 4 euro's (discount/reduced price) is totally worth your money. Kids have got free access and the museum is not that big, so you can enjoy the house with your whole family. The museum usually holds four to five exhibitions a year and I have seen Apartheid & After (spring 2014) and Taco Anema / Guido Guidi (summer 2014) so far. I definitely come back when Martin Roemers is the main project with Metropolis in 2015!
