It starts here, with one image, “Behind a Little House”, by Manuel Cosentino, that captivated us from an exhibit called “Sky” at the tiny Griffin Photography Museum near Boston.
And then we discovered that that image is just one of a series.
The full series… http://potd.pdnonline.com/2015/03/30992#gallery-1
And you should know about the Griffin… an amazing, small photography museum… only a few rooms, featuring two or three exhibits you can consume in under an hour.

And you should waste some idle hours poring through their photography exhibition books… which they share online! [I love photography books, and hesitate to buy them, because they just sit on shelves… but now I can see them brilliantly online!]

Click on the ‘Look inside’ tab, then ‘Click to read’ for a full-screen display. So you can tour the whole ‘Sky’ exhibition. And many, many others… just by opening their many exhibition books online.
And then… now that you’re ready to experiment with virtual tours of brilliant photography museum exhibits, it’s time to look at The Fence. The Fence is an annual, summer-long, outdoor photographic exhibition inaugurated in 2012 as a sister initiative to Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The following gallery presents a few images selected from the 2014 Fence exhibitions archive. [More about the Fence and Photoville? See below the photo gallery for links to both The Fence and Photoville for your own further virtual photo museum touring convenience.]
The gallery below shows, first, three images from a series by Noritaka Minami on the ‘futuristic’ Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo, Japan. That is, ‘futuristic’ in 1972… a building attached with 140 tiny removable apartment units. A William Gibson Neuromancer future… and a building now threatened with demolition to make way for a more conventional apartment complex.
The fourth image is from a series of photos from long derelict hotel interiors. The fifth image is from a series of sculptures hovering against backgrounds of natural landscapes.
