The photos span over five decades featuring 175 works by 105 photographers.  The images span not only time, but also genres, with photos of Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, and Lil Kim.  The photographers are as varied as Linda McCartney, Annie Leibovitz, Woodstock photographer Barry Feinstein, Diane Arbus, and actor Dennis Hopper.

 

Whether you’re looking for something different to do for a date (cultured, but not stuffy)—or even a day to share with your parents over the holiday season—with two for one admissions with your metro card in November and December this is truly a one size fits all gift.
