The photographs are organized into eight themes, showcasing Erwitt's curiosity and unique perspective on subjects like dogs, museums, and the dynamics between men and women.
Visitors to the exhibition will also have the opportunity to see a neighboring show curated by Lou Stoppard, which explores the relationship between photography and Nobel Prize laureate Annie Ernaux's writings.

Curated by Dieter Schwarz, this exhibition presents the landscapes of Switzerland's Engadin Valley as seen through the eyes of artist Gerhard Richter. Inspired by his visit to the region in 1989, Richter's paintings and photographs capture the beauty of the snowy peaks and the meandering river.
The exhibition also includes works where Richter combines painting and photography, creating a unique blend of photographic depiction and painterly abstraction.
