The Krupp Foundation launched the “Museum Curators for Photography” scholarship program in 1999. Every two years, three scholarship holders receive two years of museum-specific training and the opportunity to get to know the museum and academic environment of the field of photography. With this program, the foundation aims to sustainably promote the next generation of curators in the field of photography and give new impetus to the training of museum curators.
