1. |
The Affirmation of Life |
|
The Museum embraces photographic art made in the affirmation of life.
Work from all countries from 1900 to the present it represented.

2. |
Eternal Platinum Prints |
|
The Museum collects classic and contemporary platinum prints from Japan and overseas.
The exquisite tonal gradation and the permanence of this medium make
the platinum process a high point in photographic expression.
The Museum is proud to represent this medium dating from its beginnings
in the 19th century to the present.

Photographs by the Next Generation: Young Portfolio |
|
We believe that there is no clearer signal or a more direct means of support
for the young photographer than the purchase of their work for a permanent museum collection.
This is why the Museum acquires work by those who promise to be our future photographic visionaries.
