Photography Course At MoMA Supported By Volkswagen

Feb 16, 2016

A free online photography course called “Seeing Through Photographs” has now been made available through the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and it is supported by Volkswagen of America as part of the brand’s long-term partnership with the MoMA.

This new course will allow participants to delve into the history of photography to learn about its evolution over the years and the significant impact that it has had on society. The course will be broken up into six parts, and participants will be learning about the history of this craft through the study of photographs that have played a significant role in the history of photography. Along with the photographs themselves, they will also be obtaining information from interviews with top photographers, discussions with MoMA curators, and voice recordings of 48 photographers that have played a large role in the 180 history and development of photography.

“MoMA’s online education programme is outstanding in its scope and it allows a global audience to benefit from the curators’ knowledge and to experience the works of the world-famous collection virtually, without visiting the museum. Art therefore has a new way of revealing its power all over the world. We have been supporting this web-based programme intensively and on a long-term basis, since it enables people around the world to access art”, adds Benita von Maltzahn, Head of Cultural and Social Engagement, Volkswagen Group Communications.
