Exhibition gallery dedicated to photojournalism and war photography, where the museography highlights the work of reporters.

Inaugurated in 2003 by New Zealand photographer Wade Goddard, the large War Photo Limited gallery is located in the heart of the city, in one of the alleyways off the Stradun. Spanning two floors, this exhibition space, entirely dedicated to photojournalism and war reporting, showcases the artistic work of international photographers and their diverse journalistic coverage. The museography focuses on the viewpoints of these professional photographers, who have provided poignant testimony to the world conflicts of recent decades. Set up on the second floor and renewed two or three times a year, the temporary exhibitions have shown series taken in the Gaza Strip, during the confrontations in Iran and Iraq, in Lebanon, during the war in Syria and the migratory crisis it provoked on the "Balkan route", in Africa and in Ukraine.
On the second floor, the permanent exhibition focuses on the last war in former Yugoslavia (1991-1999) and the siege of Dubrovnik. Famous photographs by Ron Haviv, Alexandra Boulat, Emmanuel Ortiz and Paul Lowe are on display. As mentioned by the curators, the aim of this exhibition is to explain what happened in the city and to show the absurdity of war, without following any political agenda. A must-see, but sensitive souls are advised to abstain.

At the entrance, in the souvenir store, you can buy limited edition photo prints and monographic books.

Impactante y buenísima exposición fotográfica sobre la guerra en diversos puntos del planeta y en los Balcanes. A la entrada te facilitan una guía en diversos idiomas donde te hablan de cada foto expuesta y el autor, lo cual lo hace más interesante aún. No son imágenes explícitas ni morbosas. Hablan de momentos y sentimientos. Hay que verlas con tiempo y tranquilidad.
Una imagen vale más que mil palabras y éstas lo dicen todo. Me ha encantado. Imperdible para quién le guste la fotografía.

Like all war exhibits, there are the good and bad sides (of having an exhebition). Right now, Oct 2023, the Dubrovnik présentation in 50% Ukrainian, 50% "Yougoslavia no more"; not quite what i expected in Dubrovnik.

However, all the photos are an excellent reminder why humanity should have learned by now that war only has loosers. (Any) gains should have been discussed around the table, lives saved. Some of the photos are the hard, true cliches of what war in a prosperous town shouldn't be.

I left humbled. Saddened by what saw, glad that things, in western Europe at least, stable. Wishing stability will return ASAP to the people of Ukraine ????????.

Amazing photography documenting the savage nature of war. Must visit if you are a photographer, or into combat photography. They give 20% discount with the city pass.
