The Photographers' Gallery was founded in London by Sue Davies opening on 14 January 1971, as the first public gallery in the United Kingdom devoted solely to photography.[1]

It is also home to the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize,[2] established in 1996 to identify and reward photographic talent and innovation, and the Bar-Tur Photobook Award.
