The Helmut Newton Foundation occupies the two lower floors in the building and has for many years presented its hugely successful permanent exhibition 'Helmut Newton's Private Property', as well as individual exhibitions on Helmut Newton's work, his wife Alice Springs, and his contemporaries, including: 'Helmut Newton: Sex and Landscapes', 'Newton, Nachtwey, Lachapelle: Men, War & Peace', 'Pigozzi and the Paparazzi', and 'Helmut Newton Polaroids'.

The exhibition 'Private Property', on the ground floor of the museum, includes Newton's cameras, his own photo and art collection, the famous Newton-Mobile, his library and parts of his office at Monte Carlo. It also includes posters of his exhibitions and numerous publications of Helmut Newton's photographs.
