Exhibition - Gerda Taro. War in Focus 

For a long time, Gerda Taro’s fame was overshadowed by that of her colleague and partner Robert Capa. Today, Gerda Taro is considered a pioneer of war photography.

Gerda Taro left for Spain in 1936, together with Robert Capa, to report on the fighting between the Republicans against Franco’s Fascists.
