War Photo Limited
A serious, internationally respected photojournalism gallery in the Old Town, with rotating exhibitions on conflict and a permanent room on the 1990s Yugoslav wars.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
An unexpectedly powerful, beautifully curated counterweight to the holiday gloss — the photography is world-class and the Homeland War material gives crucial context to the siege Dubrovnik survived.
Our read - 02
The honest catch is it's emotionally heavy and not for young kids, and it's seasonal (typically closed in winter).
