War Photo Limited, Dubrovnik (must see)

The Museum of War Photo Limited is located just off Stradun in the center of the Old Town. It is open only from April through October. The War Photos fill two floors with exhibits. These are photojournalistic displays featuring recent and current global and regional conflicts. The images are moving, but some material may be disturbing.

The idea of the museum is to show the realities of war through photography. The images are sometimes raw and terrifying, without any aesthetics or ideals. The exhibition depicts wars and conflicts around the globe in Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Iraq, and Croatia. Images brightly lit on dark walls range from stark violence to absurdity.

The second floor contains a permanent exhibition of the effects of war on Croatia and Dubrovnik following the disintegration of Yugoslavia. War Photo Limited is without a political agenda or goals. Their self-proclaimed mission is to collect and exhibit photographic images of modern wars without regard to any emotional impact.
