# 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.
