GUIDED TOUR IN ENGLISH
September is the last chance to see the exhibition ‘ELLIOTT ERWITT. RETROSPECTIVE’ in the DSH – 130 photographs that changed the way we tell stories about people, cities and everyday life.
Following Brussels, Lyon and Paris, the Warsaw exhibition is the very first in Poland, and such a comprehensive retrospective of works by Elliott Erwitt – one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, and master of observation, irony, and the decisive moment. Since March over 26,000 people have seen the display!
With only a few weeks to go until the exhibition ends on 20 September, make sure you visit the DSH!
On the 10 of September we invite you to the guided tour in English, led by Andréa Holzherr – cultural director and curator at Magnum Photo agency. This is a unique opportunity to view Erwitt’s photographs through the eyes of someone connected to the same agency as the artist.
The exhibition runs until 20 September 2026.
Don’t miss the last weeks of the exhibition!

Erwitt photographed Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Jacqueline Kennedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama, as well as residents of cities and towns around the world – children and adults, dogs and cats. From major historical events to ordinary, everyday moments, which became extraordinary through his lens. At the exhibition, you will see photographs by an artist who continues to inspire photographers of successive generations around the world to this day.
