Photo exhibition WOMEN IN WAR by Lynsey Addario

Show & Culture

Created especially for the museum as part of the Women in Conflict series of historical and artistic exhibitions, the exhibition Women in War by Lynsey Addario, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, highlights, from a female perspective, the many situations that women have to endure in times of war or conflict, as well as the particularly precarious fate of children. The Women in War exhibition is a retrospective offering an immersion into more than twenty years of work by American photojournalist Lynsey Addario. Through a selection of powerful images, the public is invited to explore the territories and their populations ravaged by conflict in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Ukraine. They can thus follow a common thread deeply linked to themes dear to the photographer: the status of women in wartime, motherhood in conflict zones, survival in crisis regions, dignity and resilience in the face of destruction, violence and death. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, from 7 March to 20 December 2026, the museum will offer an extensive accompanying program with workshops, guided tours, conferences and a photo contest. In addition to the main exhibition at the museum, a free outdoor exhibition will be set up on Place de la Résistance to give a preview of the exhibition.
