Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs
April 15 - Aug. 5, 2007
First Floor
McGuinn Gallery

The largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs is currently on view at the Senator John Heinz History Center.

Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs consists of 135 classics of photojournalism that capture defining moments from the mid-20th century through today.

Capture the Moment highlights every Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph since the award's inception in 1942, including iconic images of the Kent State shootings, the World Trade Center attacks, raising the flag at Iwo Jima and many more.

The exhibition is sponsored locally thanks to the generosity of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Dominion.

The photographs featured in the exhibition bear stark witness against war and brutality. They honor heroism, compassion, and the strivings of ordinary people for better lives.
