Museum was open, but nothing available to view. Web site could have disclosed this. Woman working at desk was totally clueless. For a facility of their self-proclaimed stature, very bad practice. Booooo.
My first time visiting the Center For Creative Photography, I stumbled in because I Am a photographer who studied photography and I normally try to see all photo exhibits. That day was an exhibit on still life images. About two rooms in I realized that I was looking at photographs by Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Stieglitz; original prints of most all of the "fathers of modern photography".
I hope people realize this is one of the top photo museums in the world. I also hope people realize this museum is completely free. HONESTLY, ITS FREE AND HAS A BETTER COLLECTION THAN I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN AT ANY OF THE BIGGEST MUSEUMS IN NEW YORK OR LA!
Go see it. Another one of the world class secrets in Tucson. Also, you can set appointments to see their private collection.
Great collection!
Free admission and close to some great places for lunch. Not an all day event by any means, yet a great add on to any trip near the University
The collection is impressive, and contains works from many of the most important photographers. I always enjoy a visit here. I expect it will become even better as James, from the art museum next door, is now the director.
The CCP is a Tucson gem with a beautiful collection of photographs. Just wish there were more visiting hours.
Enjoyed the current exhibit which included photos by Ansel Adams. The exhibit is perfectly small and well-curated. I enjoyed the artifact drawers where you can find letters written by the artists as well as objects used in their photography. Well worth the visit.
