“The world's only exhibition space devoted to war photography.” - Concierge
Experts' Choice is the only accolade based on professional reviews. It's awarded to fewer than 2% of eligible businesses and recognizes War Photo Limited as one of the very best attractions in Dubrovnik.
The photographs, brilliantly lighted on dark walls, range from the violent to the absurd. They include pictures of dozens of bodies, victims of the shelling of a Croatian city; artillery fire painting bright orange lines in the night sky; and a Serbian policeman offering water to an elderly Kosovar Albanian as his colleagues burn the old man's village down.

The exciting modern gallery War Photo Limited is dedicated to photo-journalism from global war zones, and attempts to offer unbiased reporting with a human element. Dubrovnik's sturdy fortifications have been put to the test several times during the centuries, most recently during the bloody break-up of Yugoslavia – and indeed, on the second floor, there's a permanent exhibition devoted to photos from the war.
The Green Guide **
This exhibition space seeks to raise awareness and teach us about war photography. The idea is to show war as it really is - raw, corrupt and terrifying, as seen through the eyes of famous photographers, and stripped bare of aesthetics or ideology. The exhibitions address depictions of war around the world by exploring their similarities and differences, from Afghanistan to Sierra Leone, via Iraq and... Croatia.
Stark images by some of the world's best war photographers went on permanent display this week in Dubrovnik, stripping away Hollywood's gloss on war and the euphemisms of leaders who try to sanitise it. The War Photo exhibition is a vision of human conflict in the modern age that early visitors have called powerful, painful, beautiful, brutal, courageous and indispensable. |
