Dear friends,
Due to the acute epidemiological situation our museum is unable to admit visitors from 13 November 2020 to 15 January 2021.
We will miss our viewing public, but right now it’s important to stay at home again, taking care of yourself and those closest to you. We will compile a special online programme for you, and show the exhibitions online. Follow the news on our social networks and our website!

This voyage started in mid November and continued till the middle of March. With a camera fitted into my heart, I crossed Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and Cuba. I slid over the salt surface of Lake Uyuni and stepped over drunkards sleeping in the streets of out-of-the-way provinces in Argentina, I indulged myself at the brothels of Medellín, and in Rio I saw a cow drop out of a plane flying over the statue of Jesus Christ and kill a girl in the boat. Spellbound, I watched the Mayan sacrifice in Chamula, Mexico, I got wet in the rain at the session of the Ecuador freaks, and was robbed in the hottest quarter of Bogotá. Nothing of the kind appeared in my photographs. Yet, these four months of traveling up the Latin America were, perhaps, the brightest and the longest moments of my life.
