Gallery of conflict photojournalism with a permanent exhibition on the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
War Photo Limited is a photojournalism gallery at Antuninska 6, on a stepped lane north of Stradun in Dubrovnik's Old Town, in Croatia's Dubrovnik-Neretva region. The gallery was founded to show work by war photographers, and it presents rotating exhibitions of conflict photography from around the world alongside a permanent exhibition on the wars in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s, including the siege of Dubrovnik. The exhibitions use large-format prints with explanatory captions, and the subject matter includes civilians, soldiers and the aftermath of fighting, so some images are graphic and may be distressing, particularly for younger children. The space is laid out over several rooms in a restored stone building, with low lighting that suits the black-and-white and colour prints. A visit normally takes about an hour, and many visitors find it the most affecting museum in the city. The gallery is open roughly May to September daily from 10:00 to 22:00, with shorter hours in April and October, and it closes from November to March. Adult admission is EUR 10 (about $11.50), with students paying EUR 6 on presentation of ID. It is a short walk of about four minutes from Pile Gate. Crowds are lighter than at the walls or the main museums, and the afternoon is a good time to visit as a break from midday heat, while the long summer hours mean an evening visit is also possible. The lane outside gives a pleasant view of stepped stone streets, which is a good photo spot. Photography inside is generally restricted, so visitors should follow staff guidance.
