International Center of Photography

The International Center of Photography is a photography museum, school and research center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was founded by Cornell Capa in 1974. The purpose of the museum was to conserve the work of photojournalists such as his brother Robert Capa, who was killed while on assignment in 1954, as well as his colleagues Werner Bischof, David "Chim" Seymour and Dan Weiner.

The International Center of Photography brings together the work of over 3,000 photographers and other artists. Originally located in the historic Willard Straights House on Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, it relocated to bigger premises at 1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street in 1999. The 17,000-square-foot site, designed with state-of-the-art lighting, was previously occupied by Kodak.

In addition to the museum, the International Center of Photography also includes the ICP School, one of the best equiped school of photography. The school is located within the Grace Building at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, diagonally across from the museum.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
