Capa Center is closed

Due to epidemiological provisions, the Capa Center is expected to close for 30 days from November 11, 2020.

Since its establishment, our institution has been dedicated to serving the interests and needs of the photography profession and the general public interested in photography. This does not change in the current situation either: we have gathered where you can find us while we are closed.

The Photojournalist Robert Capa

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Robert Capa is considered the unique visual chronicler of several 20th-century wars (the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Second World War, the First Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War) both in the world and the Hungarian history of photography. The Hungarian photographer, who covered five wars directly from the battlefield, made his mark in photography in the course of his tragically short life. His photographs taken in the frontlines and in the heartland brought about a visual world establishing a new school, and he showed the power of images constructed from a deep sense of humanism to generations to come, up till today.
