Magnum America: The United States

An epic visual history of the places, people, mythologies and realities of America across eight decades from the renowned photography collective, Magnum Photos.

Magnum America is not a comprehensive photographic history of the United States, but rather draws on stories from the Magnum Archives to ask: What is 'America'?

Arranged into decade-by-decade chapters spanning from the 1940s to the present day - complete with timelines, story-led individual portfolios and collective portfolios - Magnum America places ordinary and extraordinary people and events side by side, offering a moving interpretation of the nation's past and present, whilst calling into question its future.
