Museum of Contemporary Photography

The Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College focuses on photographic works displayed across multiple exhibition spaces. The collection spans diverse styles and subjects from photographers working in contemporary visual culture.

The museum was established in the 1970s and began systematically building its collection in the following years. Over time the institution grew to become an important venue for photographic works.

The museum serves as an educational platform connecting students, artists, and communities through exhibitions that explore contemporary photography's role in society.

The museum is located on the Columbia College campus and is accessible by public transportation. The exhibition spaces are distributed across multiple levels, so it helps to get oriented when you arrive.

The museum regularly features works by photographers who later became established as notable artists with international recognition. These exhibitions give visitors insight into artistic development and creative processes.
