Explore the special exhibition on a one-hour guided tour.

What does it mean to look at a photograph? Are pictures for holding as much as they are for beholding? On this tour, visitors will explore What Photographs Look Like, a collections-based exhibition that underscores photography’s enduring ability to surprise. We will discuss how a photograph’s nature as a physical object—not just a two-dimensional image—impacts our experience of the art form and shapes the world around us.
