Edward S. Curtis: Mannen, myten og legenden
Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) var en besluttsom, karismatisk pionerfotograf som i 1900 satte seg fore å dokumentere indianernes tradisjonelle liv. Han var enormt produktiv, men døde fattig og glemt. Arbeidet hans ble gjenoppdaget på 1970-tallet og er nå synonymt med fotografering av amerikanske urinnvånere.

Preus museum is Norway's National Museum of Photography
The museum was founded in 1995 when the Norwegian Government bought the collections that belonged to Preus Fotomuseum, a private museum. The Norwegian State is the owner of the museum. In May 2001 the museum moved into Magasin A at Karljohansvern in Horten, about one hours drive from Oslo. The interior decoration is drawn by Architect Sverre Fehn. The collections contains photographies, ather kind of images, cameras and other technical equipment that shed light on the history of photography. There is a wide representation of the international history of photography in the image collection. Preus museum's library holds international standard.

I dag hadde vi åpning av utstillingen Huskebilder med 150 spesielt inviterte VIP-gjester! Rød løper, gode samtaler om minner og bilder og hva man egentlig kan finne av historier i et fotografi. Huskebilder er en utstilling der femåringene i fem barnehager i Horten kommune har fotografert det de vil huske fra barnehagen sin. Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom @usn.no, Horten kommune og Preus museum. Kom gjerne å se utstillingen selv! Den er åpen torsdag - søndag 11-16 i ukene framover www.pre

A history of photography
The exhibition gives an acquaintance with the pre-photographic technologies where the idea of an image was created, then moves to the enormous breadth of experimentation and research that has led all the way to current digital images.
