International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum

The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, honors those who have made great contributions to the field of photography.

History
In 1977, the first Hall of Fame and Museum opened in Santa Barbara, California, as a part of the Brooks Institute of Photography. A few years later, in 1983 the museum moved to Oklahoma City and in 2013, moved to its current location, St. Louis, Missouri. The IPHF is the first organization worldwide that recognizes significant contributors to the artistic craft and science of photography.

In addition to an extensive collection of photographs and cameras, IPHF offers lectures and other educational opportunities; surrounding all aspects of photography, past, and present, for people of all ages.

Hall of Fame inductees
The IPHF inductees artists and individuals that have changed the art industry with their photography or inventions. IPHF has more than 70 inductees and archives more than 30,000 images. Each year a nominating committee selects inductees based on their contributions to the art or science of photography and their impact on the history of photography.
