Lee Miller WWII Exhibition, Woodstock

Mon 8 Jun, 13:30

An exhibition of Lee Miller's WWII photography is currently on at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock, and until 13th September. 

The recent exhibition of Lee Miller's photography at Tate Britain was incredibly popular. This new exhibition will be enjoyed by those who missed the London exhibition, or who want to see some of her war-time photography without the crowds. 

Best known for her surrealist photography and fashion-model work, Miller moved to the UK from Egypt in 1939, working as a combat photographer with the US Army and also as a photo-journalist for Vogue. She was one of the first non-Germans to enter and document Buchenwald concentration camp. One of her most famous WWII images is of her in Hitler's bath tub in Munich on April 30th 1945, the day that Hitler's death was announced. At the time she was living in Hitler's Munich flat. 

The exhibition includes her war correspondence work for Vogue from 1942 which highlighted women’s roles in the war effort across Europe, including pictures of nurses at work at Oxford's US Army hospital, now know as the Churchill Hospital.

Those with a Blenheim annual pass should bring it with them, as the exhibition is then £5 to enter, and also free for the rest of the museum.
