ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS

Magnum’s First revisits the legendary 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.

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