Elliott Erwitt, "The Art of Observing" at the Civic Archaeological Museum
From October 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027, the Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna hosts "Elliott Erwitt. The Art of Observing", an exhibition dedicated to the gaze and the more personal dimension of the great photographer of the twentieth century.
Curated by Biba Giacchetti, the exhibition brings together approximately one hundred photographs spanning the entire career of the artist. Alongside his most famous images are private collection snapshots, many of which have never been presented to the public.
The journey weaves together family life, friendships, and travels, telling the story of the man behind the camera and his ability to capture universal emotions in everyday life. A portrait emerges where personal memories and collective memory intersect, revealing new perspectives even on the most well-known photographs.
The exhibition is produced and organized by Civita Mostre e Musei, in collaboration with the Civic Archaeological Museum of the City of Bologna.
