Hamburg Museum: In Germany artistic photography was launched by Alfred Lichtwark, an art historian and the dynamic director of the Kunsthalle in Hamburg museum. In 1893, with admirable tact, he enlisted the support of both professionals and amateurs in organizing a "First International Exhibition of Amateur Photographs" in the museum. The public was astounded to find 6000 photographs on display in the painting galleries of an art museum. "To them it seemed like holding a natural history congress in a church," Lichtwark recollected.20 As if in justification, he said that the purpose of the exhibition was to revive the dying art of portraiture.
