Whether this is your first Symposium or your 36th, you won’t want to miss Houston 2024, a celebration of 19th-century photography bringing together collectors, historians, scholars, and museum professionals from around the world. You’ll join other lovers of daguerreotypes and other early photographs gathering at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston on Thursday, October 17, with events scheduled through Saturday, October 19

Highlights include:

  • festive opening reception, right at the Museum of Fine Arts
  • Talks by experts presenting important discoveries, seldom-seen images, and new insights into photography’s beginnings
  • A photo fair offering more daguerreotypes and 19th-century photographs than can be seen anywhere. Buy, sell, trade, or just look and learn – it’s an opportunity that comes along only once a year.
  • grand banquet with live and silent auctions featuring exceptional images
  • Room-hopping to catch up with friends and see what’s on the market
  • A special exhibition of contemporary daguerreotypes at the hotel where we will be staying
  • Behind-the-scenes viewings of institutional photography collections
