The International Center of Photography is a photography museum, school and research center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was founded by Cornell Capa in 1974. The purpose of the museum was to conserve the work of photojournalists such as his brother Robert Capa, who was killed while on assignment in 1954, as well as his colleagues Werner Bischof, David "Chim" Seymour and Dan Weiner.
The International Center of Photography brings together the work of over 3,000 photographers and other artists. Originally located in the historic Willard Straights House on Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, it relocated to bigger premises at 1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street in 1999. The 17,000-square-foot site, designed with state-of-the-art lighting, was previously occupied by Kodak.
