International Center of Photography

The two-level, soothing and airy ICP is the city’s most important showcase for major photographers, especially photojournalists. Its past exhibitions have included work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Matthew Brady, Weegee and Robert Capa, and have explored a wide range of themes through creative shows such as the recent ‘Miroslav Tichy,’ with space devoted to the mysterious Czech shutterbug, and ‘Twilight Visions: Surrealism, Photography, and Paris.’ It’s also a photography school, offering coursework (for credit) and a public lecture series. Its gift shop is an excellent place to stock up on quality photo books or quirky, photo-themed gifts.
