Special Note:
Children and “Capture the Moment”

Parental discretion is advised in regard to visiting the Pulitzer exhibition with young children under ten years of age or younger. Some of these photos capture joyful moments, others dangerous and threatening situations. Those bringing young children to the exhibit should be aware that some of these images may be disturbing. It is important that an adult is along to explain the history and context.

The Pulitzer Prize Photographs
Capture the Moment

“Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs,” the most comprehensive display of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs ever shown in the United States, will exhibit at the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum December 15, 2007 through March 30, 2008. The special exhibition features 138 award-winning images since 1942 through 2007. | View a Sneak Peek Gallery

“Capture the Moment” includes many photos from historic moments that are instantly recognizable, especially war-related photos from around the world. The photos include Joe Rosenthal's World War II photograph of the raising of the flag over Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima in 1945 and many haunting images from the Vietnam War.

The exhibit also includes photographs of Olympic events and moments of joy, youth, and inhuman world conditions. Robert H. Jackson's 1964 photo of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald is one indelible image from the exhibit. Another is a family's joy in greeting a father returning from a prisoner of war camp in 1974. The images are powerful and the accompanying text tells the story behind each photograph.

Visitors to this exhibition will see the most extensive and dramatic traveling displays ever mounted at the museum. Photographic images, 3 ft. by 2.5 ft., are arranged chronologically, filling the every IPHF gallery. Each will be accompanied by a firsthand account of the events leading up to the photograph.

These epic moments were captured by photojournalists doing their daily job. Many modestly claim they were simply at the right place at the right time. Yet, they had the skill and the daring to seize the opportunity when it presented itself. That chance may have come while working on assignment close to home or around the globe.

The Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor of “Capture the Moment” and the Oklahoma Arts Council is a Supporting Sponsor. The IPHF is the only venue in Oklahoma for the special exhibit.

The exhibition is presented by The Freedom Forum Newseum, Arlington, VA and Business of Entertainment, New York, NY.
