Fodor's Review:

This leading photography museum and school was founded in 1974 by photojournalist Cornell Capa (photographer Robert Capa's brother). The permanent collection focuses on American and European documentary photography of the 1930s to the 1990s. Changing exhibits display work by famous and should-be famous photographers and theme group shows on topics such as ecology, health, religion, science, war, and candid street shots. The gift shop offers amazing imagery on postcards, posters, and prints and outstanding photography books.
