the photographic museum of humanity

The Photographic Museum of Humanity is the first online-based Museum dedicated to contemporary photography. A space accessible to everybody where people can learn about photography and its language. This is how it works : Photographers around the world are invited to upload their best Photos and Series. They create their own own account and their photos will be automatically taken into consideration for the Museum Permanent Collection. When selected their works are exhibited in the Museum’s virtual gallery space. The Museum Store will sell fine art prints of the photos that the authors will decide to commercialize. Up to 70% of the net profits are expected to be paid to the photographer. It is heralded as a cultural space dedicated to the best contemporary photography. Curated exhibitions centered around a theme that are renewed every month whilst every day photographers of the five contents upload photos that tell us about people, moments and stories. A collective picture of what our society is about. The Museum features only the works and photos of professional photographers that have passed the Museum’s photo editors selection. This guarantees a very high photography standard within their portal.

Pioneered by Giuseppe Oliverio, based in Buenos Aires, it is described as : “the first Museum made by the people. An open vision of many. A place where visitors, regardless of their age, culture, education, religion and nationality, will have the possibility to learn and expand their knowledge. For our generation and the generations to come.” The Photographic Museum will be the first Museum actually accessible to everyone from every corner of the world, at any time and always for free. A Museum filled with the best photos shared within an artistic community where everyone will be free to display their talents. A space where visitors will have the chance to participate and exchange their opinions and reactions.
