Exhibition

World Press Photo 2024
International Photojournalism Exhibition

8 November — 15 December 2024
The twentieth edition of the most renowned exhibition in the field of photojournalism worldwide. The display brings together the winning photographs and multimedia productions of the World Press Photo 2024 competition.
This year's exhibition includes 24 winning projects, including the Photo of the Year, showing a Palestinian woman hugging her niece killed by an Israeli missile, or a story by Spanish photographer Jaime Rojo about what is being done to save the Monarch butterflies. In addition, six honorable mentions are also exhibited (one for each region of the contest) and, exceptionally, two special mentions with which the jury wanted to highlight two pictures that coincide in showing single people in the midst of scenarios where dramatic deadly attacks have occurred.

Apart from the conflict between Israel and Palestine, other topics covered in the exhibition are the war in Ukraine, the climate crisis, mental health issues, migration or family ties.

The exhibition will once again feature international guests, complementary activities and guided tours for the general public, school groups and companies.
