The Griffin Museum of Photography invites you to take a glimpse into the archives of Arthur Griffin. This collection of Griffin’s photographs, primarily taken throughout Greater Boston during the 1940’s, connects us with a past generation of art enthusiasts, budding scientists, and dreamers. From museums, galleries, observatories, and libraries to the beauty of the natural world – engagement with the arts and sciences has nourished our minds and our souls throughout time. The little moments of awe on display here demonstrate that a collection is only truly illuminated when it ignites wonder in its audience. This exhibit was curated by Griffin Museum intern Samantha Snow.
