DISCOVER UNSEEN IMAGES
Join Magnum Photos in a historic project to digitize our Paris archive's vast color library, which has been dormant for decades. Dating from the 1950s to the early 2000s, many of the 650,000 color slides have remained — until now — unseen to the public eye. In partnership with Fujifilm and MPP, a selection of images will be brought to light every month.
UNEARTHING A TIME CAPSULE
The vast color library archive in Paris embodies the pre-digital age of the agency — a portal back to the second half of the 20th century, when the press encouraged the shift towards color. With the help of Magnum’s Archive and Production teams, and Fujifilm’s GFX digital systems, a selection of these exclusive images are finally being revealed. Find out more.

When Ian Berry returned to Prague in November 1989, after having documented the 1968 Soviet invasion, he witnessed a wave of protests that set the stage for the Velvet Revolution. As the Iron Curtain crumbled, pro-democracy demonstrations in the former Czechoslovakia led to the “dawn of a new decade,” as Berry noted here. In the days before the new year, the streets were electric with change; Václav Havel was inaugurated in the first post-communist, democratic elections. Immortalizing the historic transformation, Berry photographed a couple giving 1989 a send-off with a victorious kiss in Prague’s emblematic, centuries-old Wenceslas Square.
