Members see it first and free! Join us Thursday, June 11, 2026, and get an exclusive look at the latest additions to the High’s collection.
Since acquiring its first photograph in 1973 and creating its photography department in 1993, the museum has continually worked to expand its collection of photographs, transforming it into one that showcases the history of the medium while mirroring the culture and time in which the works were made. Culminating those years of strategic work, and signaling the future direction for the department’s acquisitions, this exhibition will include some works on view for the first time at the museum. New Acquisitions: Photography will highlight the extraordinary breadth of photographs the institution owns and celebrate how crafting a collection is an art form in and of itself.
Preregistration is required. Please enter the exhibition at your designated time to prevent overcrowding in the galleries.
