An outstanding gallery that showcases the bravery of photojournalists who covered significant wars. Discovering this gallery in a travel brochure was a stroke of luck, and it became my first stop in Old Town. I highly suggest that anyone visiting Old Town for the first time should visit this gallery before seeing other attractions. The war photographs, particularly depicting Dubrovnik's struggles, greatly influenced my experiences in the city and made me reflect on those who fought valiantly for justice and the innocent. My gratitude goes to the soldiers and photojournalists! As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you for the incredible curation!
This gallery opened my eyes to the myths of the Balkan Peninsula as an Asian person. The storytelling through war-time photos is truly remarkable. However, from my perspective, I believe the exhibits on the End of Yugoslavia could present a more balanced view. Currently, it seems to solely blame Serbia/Yugoslavia, while ignoring other parties involved, such as NATO, who appeared as if they were saviors. This raises a lot of questions!
A small museum filled with war photographs that provides a chance to reflect on the suffering endured by Croatia, Kosovo, Serbia, and Bosnia in recent decades. It's not an easy or fun experience, but it offers valuable insights into the history of these conflicts and serves as a reminder that Dubrovnik is more than just beaches and the Game of Thrones. The images, though sad, are beautifully captured. Entrance is 10 euros, and it's truly worth it.
A Powerful and Thought-Provoking Experience. War Photo Limited in Dubrovnik is an extraordinary museum that provides a profoundly moving and educational experience. The carefully curated exhibits give insight into the harsh realities of war through the lenses of remarkable photographers. Each photo tells a compelling story, capturing moments of struggle, resilience, and the tragic impact of conflict. What resonated with me was how the museum showcases not only the horrors of war but also the humanity that persists even in the darkest moments. The photography, while raw and unfiltered, is presented in a way that promotes reflection and comprehension rather than sensationalism.
Very informative and well-organized. I do wish that the captions were placed directly under the photos, as it can become a bit difficult to read from the catalog at certain spots in the exhibition room. Additionally, the final section about wars in various parts of the world could benefit from better chronological organization.
