The Griffin Museum is all about current trends in photographic art. I would call it post modern, but others may have other labels. There is plenty of wall space for a number of exhibits. In addition, they foster a lively and engaged community of fine art photographers. They offer workshops and portfolio reviews. Very interesting place for fine are photographers and those who appreciate fine art images.

Excellent art curration.For a supposedly more liberal minded state The Massachusetts art scene is a bit stuffy and conservative.The Griffin picks , prods and plays with this cranky new england attitude.Thank the Griffin for promoting real compelling and thought provoking art .Now if collectors will stop buying boat pictures and framed wall paper art .......Anyway if you love quality art make this place an art and dinner date its worth it.

Amazing resource to be inspired by photography. The curator pairs pieces together in unexpected ways that allows your to see each in a new light. Beautiful historic building, and a gathering place for community.

A gem of a small museum. The director and curator, Paula Tognarelli, knows her stuff. And the rest of the staff is great. The work on exhibit is typically diverse and of high quality. Everything from street and documentary to fine art and inventive portraiture. I know some have complained about the price of admission for a day. Really? Your $7 supports the art of photography and the only local museum dedicated entirely to the craft. And membership is cheap as well. The Griffin also runs multiple galleries around Boston where openings are always free. Even main show openings at the Griffin are free! They have satellites in SoWA. Lafayette Square. Stoneham. But perhaps more importantly, the Griffin is a vital and vibrant community. There are numerous workshops and classes. Portfolio reviews. Lots of artist talks. And an active social media presence that helps photographers stay connected to the community. No organization. Does more to support photography and photographers locally. Full disclosure; I have studied there and exhibited at the museum and at its satellite gallery in SoWA. But regardless, if you are a photography lover its worth checking out. Go online first to make sure the current exhibit interests you. If you are a photographer it is a must. On every level. It will make you better.
