Capa exhibition at Ludwig Museum

A major exhibition of the works of 20th century photojournalist / war photographer Robert Capa will openon 3 July in Budapest. The exhibition is organised by the Ludwig Museum / Museum of Contemporary Arts, housed in the Palace of Arts in Budapest (pictured), and follows a recent, large-scale acquisition of over 1000 of Capa’s photographs by the Hungarian National Museum. A small selection of these photos were on show in the National Museum from 6-15 March this year, but this will be the first large-scale exhibition of the collection. Capa is noted for his extensive coverage and powerful images of the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War and the First Indochina War, and for his memorable portraits of Ingrid Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Pablo Picasso and others. The exhibition will run from 3 July through 11 October. The Palace of Arts is located at Komor Marcell utca 1, District IX, Budapest, Hungary.
