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 global 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.

Owner's Message
War Photo Limited's intention is to educate the public in the field of war photography, to expose the myth of war and the intoxication of war, to allow people to see war for what it is, raw, venal, frightening, focusing on how war inflicts injustice on the innocent as well as the combatants.
War Photo Limited sees itself as an educational medium. It will be available to schools, universities, and other educational organizations. We will strive to educate young people about the disease of war, particularly the intolerance, violence and nationalistic ideals that lead to conflict.
War Photo Limited does not have a political agenda. However, we do exhibit work that we feel is appropriate to the specific field of war and conflict photography, work that may at times be disturbing to some.
Our exhibitions are by world-renowned photojournalists who are able to present their photographs in the way they feel their work should be seen. We are a gathering point for modern war and conflict photography.
