A V&A Exhibition – Touring the World

Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) is one of the most innovative and influential photographers of all time. She pioneered the close-up and took photographs deliberately out of focus because she found them more beautiful that way. 

MOPA is pleased to be the first venue in the United States to exhibit this extensive collection from a pioneering portraitist criticized in her own time but now admired for her innovative and unconventional techniques. 

A V&A Exhibition – Touring the World

Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron is made possible with generous financial support provided by The Bern Schwartz Family Foundation, the Massey Charitable Trust and the Gardner Bilingual Fund.

Additional financial support is provided by the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego.
