Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography

This guide to Huis Marseille in Amsterdam starts with a puzzle carved above the door: a harbor scene from a French port city, on a seventeenth-century Amsterdam canal house. It follows Isaac Fouquier, the Huguenot refugee merchant who built the house around 1665 on Mediterranean shipping money, and the later owners who added stucco gods and a ceiling painting that vanished from the house for over a century. Fourteen rooms across two joined canal houses now hold the city's dedicated photography museum, with exhibitions that change every few months.
