This event has ended.

Stunning and highly original images of New York and New Yorkers created by 13 prominent Dutch photographers—some internationally renowned (Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Hendrik Kerstens, and Rineke Dijkstra, among others), some young and emerging—will be on view in Dutch Seen: New York Rediscovered, one of three exhibitions at the Museum of the City of New York organized in conjunction with the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s epic 1609 voyage into New York Harbor, and the original Dutch colonies in New York. Dutch Seen is presented in association with one of the world's leading photography museums, FOAM Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam; the exhibition is organized by Kathy Ryan. The other exhibitions are: Amsterdam/New Amsterdam: The Worlds of Henry Hudson, presented in collaboration with the Scheepvaartmuseum/Amsterdam and the New Netherland Project, which explores the character of New Amsterdam and reveals the importance of its Dutch roots; and Mannahatta/Manhattan: A Natural History of New York City presented in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society, which will provide a virtual recreation of the island of Manhattan before Hudson’s arrival.
