RSVP to Elizabeth required by January 30 so we can reserve a driver. Max 20 on tour. Tour starts inside the West Building’s 6th Street and Constitution Avenue entrance nearby the information desk. After touring the exhibit, we have the option of lunch at the museum before returning.

During her long, prolific, and groundbreaking career, the American photographer Dorothea Lange made some of the most iconic portraits of the 20th century. Dorothea Lange: Seeing People reframes Lange’s work through the lens of portraiture, highlighting her unique ability to discover and reveal the character and resilience of those she photographed.

Featuring some 100 photographs, the exhibition addresses her innovative approaches to picturing people, emphasizing her work on social issues including economic disparity, migration, poverty, and racism.
