Autumn 2026
The Fotomuseum Den Haag recently acquired an impressive collection of 341 photographs by Eva Besnyö (1910-2003), giving the museum the world’s largest collection of works by this iconic photographer. To celebrate this major acquisition, in the autumn of 2026 the museum will present the largest retrospective exhibition to date of Besnyö’s work.
Born in Hungary, Besnyö moved in 1931 to Amsterdam, where she quickly gained recognition as a professional photographer and played a crucial role in the development of Dutch photography in the 20th century.
