Went on a little safari yesterday to the Muskegon Museum of Art in Michigan. One of my photographic heroes is Edward Curtis, and this tiny museum (actually it is the library just to the left in the first photo) was one of the few subscribers to Curtis' epic pictorial documentation of native American life. Teddy Roosevelt, Carnegie, Vanderbuilt, and JP Morgan...and a few dozen institutions are the only ones to support him by subscribing to his 20 volume portfolio set, and the 20 notebook volumes with notes, music, ceremonies, and other written documentation. Well, all 723 portfolio photos were framed and put on display for the first time ever at this nearby museum - and it was just too good to be true. Just thought I would post a heads up for people that admire Curtis' 30 years of unique work.
