The Museum of Contemporary Photography is a stimulating and innovative forum for the creation, collection, and examination of photographically related images, objects and ideas. By presenting projects and exhibitions that embrace a wide range of contemporary aesthetics and technologies, the museum promotes a greater understanding of and appreciation for the cultural, social and political implications of the image in our world today.
Check the museum's website for current exhibitions. The museum's permanent collection focuses on American and US-resident photography produced since 1945. The over 6,000 photographs and photographically related images and objects in the museum's collection reflect photography's multiple roles-as a medium of communication and artistic expression, as a documenter of life, as a commercial industry, and as a powerful tool in the service of science and technology.
