Celebrating the Art of Photography...
Welcome to the Griffin Museum of Photography, a nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the art
of photography. Through our many exhibitions, programs and lectures, we strive to encourage a
broader understanding and appreciation of the visual, emotional and social impact of photographic
art.
At the Griffin Museum, you will find exhibitions from well-known photographers to those emerging on
the scene that explore important themes and thought-provoking ideas. All of our exhibitions and
programs are designed to encourage the passionate exploration of the art of photography.
