MFAH members are invited to reserve tickets for an art-making activity led by a teaching artist. This edition is inspired by the exhibition Robert Frank and Todd Webb: Across America, 1955.
Robert Frank and Todd Webb: Across America, 1955 showcases two famed photographers who took separate journeys for a unified goal in 1955 and have their work displayed side-by-side for the first time. Frank and Webb engaged in projects that challenged the idealistic purity of the “American road trip,” and produced images that are strikingly similar even though they were unaware of each other's work.
