Fotografie-Forum der StädteRegion Aachen

Fotografie-Forum der StädteRegion Aachen occupies a historic building in Aachen that is around one hundred and fifty years old. The building once housed a tax office. Since the early 2000s, it has developed from an arts and culture centre into a forum devoted to photography. White walls and even light shape the exhibition rooms. Their simple sequence lets visitors focus on the photographs displayed there. The forum presents changing exhibitions featuring photographers including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Vivian Maier, and Bruce Davidson. Its collection grows through donations and acquisitions. A scholarship supports an artist’s project connected with the surrounding region. Workshops and seminars add practical and educational work to the exhibitions. A learning studio serves school classes and young visitors. The forum also helps coordinate a photography festival across the wider region. The former administrative building remains a meeting place for photographic art. Its rooms connect historic architecture, photographic collections, exhibitions, and learning programmes in one setting.
