Museum of Contemporary Photography Review

Founded in 1976 by Columbia College in Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Photography has become the world’s premier museum of photography art. As an international hub, it generates creativity and stimulates dialogue among students, artists and different communities through groundbreaking exhibitions and programs. The museum is located at 600 South Michigan Avenue and has a mission to develop an understanding of the artistic, cultural and political roles of photography in the world today. The museum began collecting photographic materials in the early 1980s, and since then its collection has grown to include nearly 15,000 items and more than 1,500 emerging and professional mid-term artists. The museum houses this collection, as well as the Midwest Photographer Project, which contains a portfolio of works by photographers and artists living in Illinois and other Midwest states. The permanent collection focuses on American and international photography in the 20th century and today. It includes Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan, Henry Cartier Bresson, Julia Margaret Cameron, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Owen Payne, David Prouden, Aaron Siskin and Victor Sklensky in thousands of photos Works made in photographic-related objects, including gelatin silver prints, color works, digital works, photographs and a variety of Art. Reproductive processes. In recent years, the museum's exhibitions have been famous for: Paul Shambloom's Evidence of Democracy; Michael Wolf's "Transparent City and Workplace"; Guy Tilim's "Patrice Lumumba."

I like this museum very much. There are several photographers in it. Although the museum is free, they welcome you to donate $5, which is worth it. The exhibition featured photographs of transsexuals and homosexuals banned in Iran. There are seats and information about each photographer on the wall. Very interesting photos and videos.

身边喜欢摄影的人很多，可是他们的喜欢都是建立在好的相机和自以为是的构图上，来了这颠覆了我很多对美的理解，构图角度真的比什么都重要。

A very modern photography museum, photographers must go and see it.

Chicago is known as the Museum of Contemporary Skyscrapers, where skyscrapers of different styles and sculptures, lakes, and parks have won awards for photographs taken on Lake Michigan and Michigan Avenue. The Museum of Photography has a great collection of works about the city. More than 7,000 black-and-white to color photographs are also the best portraits of American history.
