The PhotoBookMuseum, 2025

In cooperation with The PhotoBookMuseum, Cologne, the Neues Museum is presenting the first major photobook retrospective of British Magnum photographer Martin Parr (born 1952). Parr has a unique ability to capture the absurdities of our global consumer and leisure culture. As a passionate collector and promoter, he has also brought the photobook into the consciousness of contemporary photography since the turn of the millennium.

In an elaborate staging inspired by the appearance of a hotel complex, the GRAND HOTEL PARR exhibition invites visitors to explore over 200 of the artist's photo books. The tour through the various rooms of the hotel, such as the billiard room, the dining room and the fashion boutique, picks up on various themes from Parr's photo books. We invite you to take a different look at a bizarre world between ostentation and kitsch, four-star luxury and ‘all inclusive’, finding moments that connect across all social classes and national characteristics.

 

The exhibition is curated and made possible by The PhotoBookMuseum, Cologne.
