📸 Exhibition “Silence After Impact” at the Louvre-Lens
📅 From 2 May to 30 August 2026
📍 Louvre-Lens, 99 Rue Valentin Looi, 62300 Lens
The exhibition “Silence After Impact. War Ruins Photography” explores the photography of war ruins, from the First World War to the present day. Through a poignant visual journey, discover how photographers have captured the silence of landscapes devastated by conflict.
From bombed-out Picardy to contemporary ruins, this exhibition questions our relationship with the memory of destroyed places. The images, often silent and striking, confront us with the aftermath — when the din of weapons has ceased and only the visual echo of destruction remains.
A powerful reflection on war, memory and landscape, in a museum itself located in the heart of the mining basin, a territory marked by conflict.
Practical info: Entry to the temporary exhibition pavilion. Check times and prices on the Louvre-Lens website.
