All I can say to anyone who is able to go is, don't think twice, go! Magnificent photographs. The exhibition was larger than I expected, maybe 200 photographs. What really surprised me were the pictures of children that he took just to keep them quiet. They are all placed together along two walls in one of the rooms. I told myself that I shouldn't like them, that they were just closely cropped portraits that showed very little of the context in which they were taken. But I was won over, they were incredibly moving photographs. The exhibition is on until early June - I don't know if it's touring after that - admission is free. Steve
