The Mary L. and Leigh B. Block Photography Study Room first opened its doors in 1982 when the newly renovated Department of Photography moved into its own facility on the lower level of the museum, adjacent to the photography galleries. With more than 18,000 photographs in the permanent collection, the study room is a valuable resource to learn about photography from its beginnings in the 19th century to contemporary works. The Photography Department will provide an intimate look at their collections along with behind-the-scenes insights into how they work with researchers and manage their collections.
