Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The “Murs” photo exhibit at the Pont de la Machine in the centre of Geneva has been closed after attacks on the large-format photos, graffiti and slashing, in early January. The open-air exhibit had already been attacked in November shortly after it opened. A guard was posted, but the new attacks make it too costly to keep it open, say organizers.

The exhibit was organized to commemorate the fall, 20 years ago, of the Berlin Wall, and featured some of the world’s best photojournalists’ images of walls that divide, around the world.
