FOMU Photo Museum Antwerp, Photography museum in Antwerp, Belgium.
FOMU is a photography museum in Antwerp that displays historical and contemporary photography collections across multiple galleries. The museum presents rotating exhibitions throughout the year featuring photographers from around the world.
The museum was founded in 1965 and officially opened in 2004, having since hosted around 100 solo exhibitions with renowned photographers. This growth reflects its development as a major platform for photographic work.
The museum publishes two separate photography magazines: .tiff in Dutch for art photography and Trigger in English for an international readership.
The museum is located in a modern building near the harbor and operates throughout the week except Mondays. Visitors should note that opening hours may vary seasonally, particularly during winter months.
Between 1986 and 2018, the museum's solo exhibitions were heavily concentrated on one group of artists, with their work making up the vast majority of shows. This pattern has since been examined and addressed as part of the institution's evolution.
