You're standing on the Keizersgracht, outside Foam, Amsterdam's photography museum. Have a look at the façades. It looks like one canal house, but Foam actually occupies three buildings side by side. Inside they're linked by sky bridges, covered courtyards and staircases. And just across the water is Museum Van Loon.
