Tate Britain presents the most comprehensive UK retrospective of Lee Miller’s photography to date, honouring her as one of the 20th century’s most compelling and influential artistic voices.

Miller’s journey began in front of the camera as a celebrated model of the late 1920s, but she soon transitioned behind the lens, becoming a pioneering force in the avant-garde movements of New York, Paris, London, and Cairo.

Highlights of Lee Miller at the Tate Britain

This landmark exhibition traces the breadth of her extraordinary career—from her involvement in French surrealism to her ground-breaking work in fashion and war photography. It also highlights lesser-known aspects of her practice, including her striking images of Egypt’s landscapes in the 1930s and her many artistic collaborations.

Featuring around 250 vintage and contemporary prints—some on display for the first time—the exhibition captures Miller’s poetic eye and fearless approach to image-making.

Reflecting on her bold path, Miller once remarked: It was a matter of getting out on a damn limb and sawing it off behind you.
