Museum of Contemporary Photography
Ensconced in a ground-floor space at Columbia College--a progressive arts- and media-oriented institution that boasts the country's largest undergraduate film department and a highly respected photojournalism-slanted photography department--the Museum of Contemporary Photography is the only museum in the Midwest of its ilk. As the name indicates, it exhibits, collects, and promotes modern photography, with a special focus on American works from 1959 to present. Rotating exhibitions show-case images by both nationally recognized and "undiscovered" regional artists. Related lectures and special programs are scheduled during the year.
