Expo temporaire intéressante. Panneaux explicatifs didactiques et intéressants . Par contre le musée est minuscule et quasi pas d’œuvre de la collection permanente … rien à voir avec les quantités d’œuvres existant dans leurs réserves. Mériterait vraiment un lieu plus grand !!

Sympa, mais c'est juste un petit espace pas un grand musée.

Free museum, but donations appreciated (cash only)! Very friendly staff & good vibes. It was small but full of very cool modern photography from different parts of the world. Definitely recommend! Took me like 15-20 minutes to walk through the whole thing!

I have been visiting this museum for years but I will never return after the despicable behavior of their staff. Let me start this by saying I am a Loyola Chicago student and I visited the museum today with 3 of my fellow classmates to complete a class assignment. When we arrived we obviously had book bags and water bottles with us, as we came straight from campus. We purchased our tickets and proceeded to the exhibit. As we walked into the first exhibit we were immediately told by a young women that we could not have our water bottles in , which was weird being that we were not told this by the front desk staff, but this was not a problem so we just took them to the coat check to comply with the rules. As we proceeded to explore the exhibit it was an overall pleasant experience until we encountered a very low vibrational member of the security staff. One of my classmates asked this man could he take a photo of us the man agreed and grabbed his phone to take the picture and then told my classmate that he could not have his book bag on. My classmate then told him that he already spoke to the staff downstairs and that it was okay. This man responded with a lot of aggression and said “that’s not true nobody told you that and matter of fact I don’t even wanna take your picture anymore.” He made us very uncomfortable and we were appalled at how we were being treated over something so minuscule and none of us reciprocated the hostility he projected onto us. We unfortunately didn’t get to finish viewing the exhibit as we felt so uncomfortable. We then decided that we would just leave as we already finished the requirements of our assignment and as we walled out my classmate said “bye have a good night “ to the front desk worker and he then looked at him and went back to his computer as if he never heard him, which we found very rude. You guys should not hire rude staff considering that this is a freaking art museum, people come here to have a good time and not have to deal with such negativity while trying to appreciate art. Do better!

Free photography museum. Small but packs a punch with its inspiring and poignant pieces. Left feeling very happy that I had visited.

Visited in mid October. It was more of a gallery than a museum. At the time we went the 'show' was the work of a couple of photographers. The gallery was nice with a fine presentation. The staff seemed to be students who were for the most part disinterested. I would not go out of my way to see it, but if you are walking by, it would be worth a visit. The place was empty.
