Eyes of journalism

The edifice is currently hosting two photo exhibitions, presenting pictures recognized by two prestigious press-photography contests - World Press Photo and Grand Press Photo. The former is located in Sala im. Kisielewskiego and presents nearly 200 prize-winning photographs from the 50th World Press Photo competition. The exhibition will be in Warsaw until June 30. Later in the year, the exhibition will return to Poland to visit Katowice between October 26 and November 18, and Opole between November 23 and December 16.

No Polish photographer made the prize-winning list in the WPP contest, but one can still view quality Polish photography at the Grand Press Photo exhibition in the Kinoteka cinema inside the Palace of Culture. No less than 138 nominated and award-winning photos (out of over 3,700 that applied) are on display, portraying important events that took place in Poland in 2006. The Grand Press Photo exhibition will be open until August 30.
