Numbering more than 1,500 images, the Boca Raton Museum's photography collection is the largest collecting area with the most important examples coming from the 2007 Isadore and Kelly Friedman Bequest. Spanning the entire era of the medium, from the earliest darkroom processes to large-scale contemporary works, the Collection demonstrates the range of photographic method from documentary to conceptual.
