Museum Fodor, Art museum in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands

Located at Keizersgracht 609, Museum Fodor occupied a former canal-side warehouse with an Italianate sandstone facade designed by architect Cornelis Outshoorn.

Founded in 1863 by coal trader Carel Joseph Fodor, the museum became the first institution in Amsterdam dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art collections.

The museum displayed numerous paintings, drawings, and prints, including the notable masterwork 'Christus Consolator' acquired from the Duchess of Orleans.

The museum operated until 1993, after which its collections were distributed among various institutions including the Stedelijk Museum and Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

The building transformed into the Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam after serving as the Dutch Design Institute from 1994 to 2001.
