The building, a 19th-century renovation by Cornelis Outshoorn, later received a modern transformation by BenthemCrouwel. This combination of old and new also reflects Foam's concept; a place that houses several photography genres at once and offers young talent space alongside world-renowned names. The interior includes intimate rooms and an attic space where workshops take place.<\/p>\n<p>Foam offers up to four exhibitions simultaneously, with programs ranging from fashion photography to documentary and art. In addition to exhibitions, Foam hosts workshops, debate nights, educational projects and a talent development program. The museum also keeps the international photography cream up to date through Foam Magazine, a quadrennial magazine. There is also its own gallery, Foam Editions, which sells handmade photo books and prints.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Foam simultaneously presents up to four photography exhibitions covering all genres between documentary and fashion.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At Foam, photography comes together in a variety of forms and disciplines.
