Magnum Photos is a group of photojournalists that was founded in 1947 by Robert Capa (Hungary), Henri Cartier-Bresson (France), George Roger (Great Britain), David Seymour "Chim" (Poland) based on Capa's idea. The name "Magnum" is said to be taken from large bottles of champagne. Currently approximately 50 members are active globally in the commercial, fashion and corporate fields as well as documentary, aiming to protect and assert the rights and freedoms of photographers. In this exhibition commemorating the 60th anniversary of the group's founding, approximately 150 black-and-white and color photographs and images taken by the many Magnum Photos members that visited post-war Japan between the 1950's and 2005 will be on display.
