Exhibition

‘World Press Photo 2025’ zooms in on world events. International juries pick out the best press photos from tens of thousands of submissions. The exhibition provides a look back at the global events of 2024 and allows us to take a step back from the fast-moving news cycle, to consider world events from a fresh perspective, and to critically reflect on them.

Swiss Press Photo 25 & World Press Photo 2025 - Combined tour

Guided tour for private groups

The two exhibitions present the best press photographs from Switzerland and around the world. One of the most important qualities of a press photo is its truthfulness. How is this achieved and what pictorial languages can be discerned? What does freedom of the press mean in photojournalism? The guided tour illustrates how images generate attention for current events.
