One of the things that inspires us most is viewing the (conceptual) photo series that other photographers have created. You won't be surprised that we try to visit each photography museum that we encounter. When we searched for an overview of those museums around the virtual globe, we didn't find it. So we decided to create this list ourselves. It's a growing list with photography museums and art museums with a photography collection. Please feel free to send us suggestions (name, location, webaddress). Enjoy!
