A joint ex­hi­bi­tion pro­ject of the State Mu­seum and Ex­hi­bi­tion Cen­ter ROSPHOTO and the In­ter­na­tional Com­mit­tee of the Red Cross is de­voted to the prob­lems of child­hood in the coun­tries and re­gions where po­lit­i­cal, eco­log­i­cal, and so­cial con­di­tions are un­sta­ble. For many chil­dren, the aid pro­vided by the In­ter­na­tional Com­mit­tee of the Red Cross is cru­cial for their sur­vival.

ROSPHOTO se­lected over 300 pho­tographs from the ICRC archive, pre­sent­ing the Com­mit­tee’s hu­man­i­tar­ian ef­forts to pro­tect and sup­port chil­dren all over the world. The ex­hi­bi­tion cov­ers the pe­riod from the World War I to the pre­sent day, re­flect­ing a wide range of war con­flicts, nat­ural dis­as­ters and their con­se­quences in the works by pho­tog­ra­phers who have col­lab­o­rated with the In­ter­na­tional Com­mit­tee of the Red Cross. The ex­hi­bi­tion brings to­gether the best pho­tographs taken by doc­u­men­tary and mil­i­tary pho­tog­ra­phers. Among them are such mas­ters of pho­to­jour­nal­ism as David Sey­mour, Paolo Pel­le­grin, Witold Kras­sowski, Marko Kokič, Jonathan Tor­gov­nik, Thier­rry Gassman, Boris Heger and many oth­ers.
