Explore the world of documentary photography at mid-century on a special exhibition tour with curator Gaëlle Morel:

Magnum’s First revisits the agency’s 1955 debut exhibition Gesicht der Zeit (Face of Time)—rediscovered in 2006 after being lost for decades. Featuring 83 original prints by early Magnum members, it reveals the agency’s formative vision and global reach.

Chim’s Children of Europe presents original prints and objects revealing Magnum Photos co-founder David “Chim” Seymour’s compassionate lens and enduring humanitarian vision as he documented children’s lives across war-torn Europe for UNESCO’s 1949 publication.
