AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014The museum features a regular rotation of carefully curated photography exhibits focusing on historic as well as contemporary artists. Read more
Teachers College Student AffairsJuly 1, 2013As you enter the museum, enlarged photographs hang in the windows, distinguishing the building from its plain office-building neighbors. If photography is your genre of choice, this place has it all.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011This amazing center will re-kindle your love affair with photography – the exhibits are amazing and the classes are amazing. Come on Friday Nights for Free Admission.
Nastya ChekryzhovaNovember 9, 2019Museum of good expositions and full of interesting curatorial concepts. We know how hard to curate photo-shows!
Cat HicksNovember 7, 2015As a photographer this is always a stop when I'm in NYC. The work is always amazing and I always walk Away inspired in my own work to do better.
Alayna DuffelAugust 5, 2012This place may be one of my fav spots in NYC. They have great exhibits! The book store has great stuff and you can order anything on-line you see in there.
The New YorkerNovember 8, 2012Vince Aletti on "Rise and Fall of Apartheid": "...it's the photographers who were on the front lines who give this show its great strength. Their work has lost none of its power or fury." Nov 12, 2012 Read more
Eli Rebecca FossOctober 23, 2012I really like this place. I highly recommend it. Great pictures, cool store(where they sell Lomography cameras) and if you have a student ID you get in for 10 dollars.
Lesley KAugust 6, 2013Not a big space, but the exhibits are really well curated. A wonderful place to go for a photog pick-me-up or a revive.
Jimmy KastnerAugust 22, 2014You can't take pictures of the pictures... but you can take pictures of the captions, look the photos up on Google, and take pictures of your screen.
Sinem Eylem ArslanDecember 9, 2014It's not a museum, but instead an art gallery full of photojournalistic exhibitions of photographers around the world. Would go again!
Grab some Maman Coffee or Matcha in the front. All the pastries are good too 💞
The space seems smaller than the old. The current installments as of this date were uninspiring but that's subject. Summer of January '17 will have a Magnum photographer's exhibitions. THAT is boss.

Chris R (thechristophe)December 19, 2015Is now closed pending a move downtown. The School, across on 6th is open with a small gallery downstairs for free.
Anna StrausAugust 11, 2017Magnum photography is not for everyone but certain exhibitions were great!

Diego RufoMarch 31, 2011This center is often overlooked by visitors, though their excellent photography exhibits. When visiting Times Square, head over to 6th avenue and check it out. Read more
DaveJune 17, 2014If you like pretentious photography then this is the place for you. What's even more annoying than the majority of uninspiring photography is the ridiculous texts that describe the work.
SenencitoJune 19, 2011Very hypocritical that im told I can't take photographs while looking at a photo of someone taking a photo of people watching a photo in a museum. The irony of this moment was golden.
Daron YondemDecember 7, 2013Too far from being an "international" center of photography. Small collection. Simply disappointed. It's just a tiny gallery not even a museum.
André DamettoJuly 16, 2010Great exhibition about civil right law in US history. God bless photography!
