ICONIC — Photo exhibition curated by World Press Photo
ICONIC showcases a selection of “World Press Photo of the Year” winners. Discover it until 13 January 2023.
Info Hub
In the heart of the European Quarter, on the Esplanade Solidarność 1980, you can explore open access research material, attend regular policy talks and civil society events, and challenge your thinking at the Info Hub’s temporary exhibitions. With a constantly changing programme, you can come back time and time again to discover something new or understand something with greater depth.
Got a question? Ask our friendly staff and they will help you find your way around the Info Hub, or the European Parliament campus.
Interested in a specific topic? Attend policy talks, with your European Parliament policy experts, ask your questions, and get the facts, analysis, and insights. Policy talks are given in English but questions can be taken in other EU languages depending on the expert. Bring your coffee and join us on Thursdays from 12:00 to 12:45. Have a look at the programme of upcoming policy talks (PDF).
What’s happening soon? From talks to film screenings, press conferences, civil society meetings, new events are constantly being added so be sure to check out the programme at the bottom of the page or on the events platform and find the one that interests you.

ICONIC - Temporary exhibition
ICONIC defending freedom and democracy since 1955
To mark the opening of the Info Hub, the first exhibition will be organised in collaboration with the renowned World Press Photo Foundation. This independent, non-profit organisation provides a variety of perspectives from all corners of the globe through the medium of photojournalism. Each year, the Foundation awards works that present courageous stories, invaluable insights, and a diversity of interpretations.
The ICONIC exhibition, curated especially for the European Parliament, showcases a selection of previous winners of the “World Press Photo of the Year”. The six-month exhibition will be complemented by a side programme of events revolving around press freedom, freedom of expression and safety for journalists. The side programme will feature guided tours, talks and panel discussions with previous winners. The ICONIC exhibition will run until mid-January 2023.

These tours are provided by welcome staff to give visitors an introduction to the exhibition and the photographs on display.
