University Art Museum: NINETEENTH-CENTURY TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY AND POPULAR TOURISM |
Location: University Art Museum
Time:
12:00 PM - 5:00 PM10/14/09 to 1/31/10
|
Holiday uses the University Art Museum’s photography collection, complemented by brochures, guidebooks, maps, personal accounts and stereograms from the UC Santa Barbara Davidson Library and Special Collections, to illustrate the nineteenth-century fascination with travel. This exhibition conjures the early, heady days of travel which occurred in lockstep with photography’s development. The objects in Holiday show glimpses of a long lost world which was newly opened due to transportation advances and a growing middle class eager to explore foreign lands for personal edification, religious fervor and a desire to see the exotic.
