Vrijthof is a large urban square in the centre of Maastricht, Netherlands. The square developed from an ancient Roman and Frankish cemetery into a semi-private space that belonged to the Collegiate Church of Saint Servatius. In the 19th century, it became the town's main square.
Exhibitions focussed on local arts and crafts, e.g. Maastricht silver and Maastricht pistols. From 2014 the emphasis shifted to local and regional artist from the late 19th and early 20th century. In 2019, the museum announced that it would only show photography from then on. Subsequently, it changed its name to Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof.
