Photography - February 18, 2027
Say cheese! Our museum has thousands of photographs that help us document and share local stories, but photography itself is newer than the city of Cleveland.
- Ages 3-5 will discover how photography helps us explore the world.
- Ages 6-8 will think more about why we take photographs of each stage in our life through the story of Allen Cole, a Black photographer in Cleveland who documented his community.
- Ages 9-12 will learn about early photographic processes and how people incorporated taking pictures into their daily lives.
- Ages 13+ will engage with photographs taken by Cleveland’s photojournalists or published in Cleveland newspapers to think more about when photos are fact and when they might be fiction.
