Fodor's Review:
"Contemporary" is defined here as anything after 1936. Over 7,000 works from American-born and American-resident photographers make this an impressive collection. Don't-miss works include exhibits by Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Nicholas Nixon. Curators constantly seek out new talent and under-appreciated established photographers, which means that there are artists here you probably won't see elsewhere. Rotating exhibits have included photojournalism and scientific photography.
