Le livre

In the Gallery of Honour, 99 photos tell the story of photography in the Netherlands from 1842 to the present day. The Gallery shows the highlights, the innovations, and the great steps photographers have made, from the invention of photography to the unique technological innovations of today. [2021]The Gallery of Honour starts off by showing the earliest examples of photographs, known as daguerreotypes, and showcases work by dozens of photographers who explored boundaries, developed new techniques, and brought about innovation - from black and white images to colour photography and the digital age. Through six time periods, the visitor is taken through the fascinating development of 180 years of photography.The Gallery of Honour consists of 99 iconic works, plus one empty frame. This symbolises the photograph that - consciously or subconsciously - was not chosen or noticed, not known or not (yet) appreciated. The public can pick this 'missing photo' themselves. In this way, the Gallery of Honour invites everyone to offer a response to the current selection of photographs. Visitors can add their own +1 photo with a special app during their visit to the Gallery of Honour.
