World Press Photo Exhibition 2026

Since 1955, this major event in Amsterdam honors those who risk their lives to bear witness. Starting April 24, 2026, the Nieuwe Kerk will host the most striking photographs of the year, selected from thousands of proposals from over 100 countries. These raw images document the turmoil of our world, from battle lines to environmental crises, without forgetting the moments of grace in everyday life. Beyond simple photographs, the route incorporates video testimonies and workshops that question our view of the news. Until September 27, these works offer an essential lesson in humanity in the heart of Dam Square. It is a powerful visual panorama that freezes immediate history and reminds us of the vital importance of investigative journalism in a society saturated with images.
