For Teachers & Students
It is rare that a museum exhibition speaks so deeply and broadly to all people. Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs does just that. We invite you to bring your class to this compelling, gripping exhibition that chronicles many significant events of our common memory.

On display at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus from April 25 – July 25, 2008, Capture the Moment is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs, presenting powerful images that have changed lives and the way we think. The 138 photographs include the Pulitzer winners from 1942 to 2007. There are the iconic pictures of the 2001 World Trade Center attack, the flag raising at Iwo Jima, Kent State and tender moments like Babe Ruth’s last day as a Yankee.

Children And Capture The Moment
We recommend parental discretion with regard to visiting Capture the Moment exhibition with young children. Kids will easily connect with some of the photographs that feature families and children their own age. Some of these photos capture joyful moments, while others depict 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 exhibition is well suited for journalism, political science, history or government classes. For more information, or to make a reservation, please contact Janet Leffler at 614-297-2663 or jleffler@ohiohistory.org.
