 The Alice Austen House is a living, breathing photographic museum. In addition to the permanent exhibition exploring the life and photographic legacy of Alice Austen we curate three changing contemporary exhibitions per year. These changing exhibitions explore essential intersections between Austen’s work and contemporary themes in art and journalistic photography.
