You're standing at the Netherlands Photo Museum in Rotterdam, in the old Santos warehouse on the Rijnhaven. Have a look at the walls. They're almost entirely closed, with very few windows. Handy for a warehouse, and perfect for a photo museum, because daylight is bad for old photographs. The warehouse was designed by the architects Jacobus Pieter Stok and Jan Kanters.
