Robert Capa. War Photographer

Robert Capa redefined the role of the witness by always placing himself at the heart of the action, true to his principle: “If your photos aren’t good enough, it’s because you aren’t close enough.” The Musée de la Libération de Paris sheds light on this extraordinary life through a selection of photographs that have shaped our collective memory. From Spain ablaze to the liberation of French territory, his images not only document the battles but capture the humanity of soldiers and civilians with unprecedented intensity. This journey traces the evolution of a lively and audacious style that gave birth to modern photojournalism. An essential encounter to understand how an eye behind the lens could have influenced the course of history. On display from February 18th to December 20th, 2026.
