About this exhibition

Before Lee Miller left Britain to report in Europe she covered the Blitz, documenting civilians braving the destruction around them and their contributions to the war effort, as well as photographing wartime fashion, camouflage and the women working in the armed forces on the home front.

This exhibition, curated by the Lee Miller Archives, presents Lee Miller’s photography in Britain during the war.
