An exhibition of Street Photography at Museum of London takes place during 2011 as
the Museum opens up its archives from 1860 to the present day. Taking a look at the
nature of street photography exclusively in London, this exhibition charts the history of
the genre and sheds light on the changing nature of the city and its people over the
years.
Street Photography at Museum of London
Around 200 different photos are included in the Street Photography exhibition,
including many pieces by well known and well loved photographers. From the likes of
John Thompson, Henry Grant and Roger Mayne to more contemporary images, the
Museum of London invites you to look at the social and cultural changes made evident
by the captuting of street snapshots over the years.
Visual documents
Giving visitors unprecedented access to their collection of street photography at
Museum of London, everyone who attends the photo show will no doubt be struck by
the evolving nature of London over the years. Creating a fascinating series of visual
documents, all the photos included in the exhibition contain a factor of chance, as with
all street photography, which makes them all the more appealing.
Capturing the city
Whether the images on display show a fleeting expression, a brief encounter or an
unsual juxtaposition, all the photos capture the essence of London as well as telling
the story of the street. By focusing exclusively on London, Street Photography at
Museum of London tells the individual stories of the people in front of the camera, as
well as those taking the shot. Looking at the motives of the photographers as well, the
exhibition examines the energy and dynamism of their subjects along with their social
and cultural location.
The exhibition of Street Photography at Museum of London takes place from 10am
- 6pm, Friday 18th February - Sunday 4th September 2011. Entrance is
