About this audio guide
This guide to the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam follows Ed van der Elsken, the Amsterdam-born photographer whose negatives and slides are archived in this harbour warehouse. It moves from his final years near Edam back to a Magnum darkroom in nineteen-fifties Paris, and the Left Bank bohemians he turned into a book. Along the way you'll meet the Australian dancer behind his most famous heroine.
