Night of Photography
The Night of Photography is an open-air event organized by the Museum of Warsaw since 2023. Large-scale outdoor projections across Warsaw’s Old Town and New Town will showcase a selection of works by photographers from Poland and abroad. The third edition of the Night of Photography is part of the UK/Poland Season 2025. In addition to works by the winners of the photography competition and projections created from archival images from the Museum of Warsaw’s collection, this year’s program will feature projections of works by Martin Parr, a selection from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s photography collection, and emerging British photography curated by The Photographers’ Gallery. The theme of this year’s Night of Photography is Borders/Lines of the City – imaginary or real.
