THE National Theatre is currently presenting an exhibition which
showcases the iconic images of key moments in European history,
that have been featured in TIME’s annual summer special issue
European Journey: Then & Now, (published on Monday, August
11).
The exhibition chronicles how Europe has changed and focuses
on sites of momentous historic events where TIME photographers
have returned to capture the scene in the present day to juxtapose
the image against the same scene decades ago.

its kind that the magazine has brought to London and will be a
showcase of the magazine’s rich photo-journalistic coverage."
