The V&A's Photography Centre rooms 100 and 101 reopened today, Saturday, 14 June, with a new survey display of American Photographs. It is inspired by Walker Evans's 1938 publication American Photographs, which capture a country in flux and at times turmoil. The display uses Evans's title to examine how photography has documented and shaped the United States. The V&A's collection of photography from America is one of the largest outside of the North America and over 300 works are on display. These range from photographs to publications and cameras, spanning the period 1840 to today, including recent acquisitions. The display will remain in situ until 2027 and coincides with the 2026 American bisesquicentennial commemorations.
