Grim Glory: Lee Miller’s Britain at War

Grim Glory: Lee Miller’s Britain at War

An major exhibition from the Lee Miller Archives will be on display for the second half of the 2026 open season in the Lee Miller Gallery.

Arriving in Britain just as war was declared Lee Miller, an American with no permit to work, used her camera as her principle means of combat during World War II.

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