Myanmar Photo Archive

Myanmar Photo Archive (MPA) is both a physical archive of photographs taken between 1890 and 1995 in Myanmar and the country's former period of British Burma, as well as an ongoing project for the public awareness of the country's visual culture. Through various exhibitions, an online presentation and a publication programme, MPA has become known for spreading Myanmar’s rich photographic culture, both on a local and an international level. With a collection of more than 30.000 images and other related materials, MPA has become the largest archive for Myanmar's photographic history. MPA has also published several books on the history of photography in Myanmar and former Burma and has been engaged in public events and artistic re-evaluation of the archive's collections.
