"We're getting used to the war, and we need to remember its tragedy," Polish MEP Michał Szczerba, who initiated the exhibition, told Polish state news agency PAP.
The display, titled The Eyes of War, features a dozen photographs taken by Polish photojournalists in Ukraine, including images of destroyed buildings, people sheltering from Russian bombing and burning cities.
One image shows an elderly woman searching her field for landmines with a metal detector after returning to her village near the southern city of Kherson, largely destroyed by Russian forces.

Jarosław Włodarczyk of Press Club Polska, the exhibition's organiser, said it had been touring the world for two years with support from Poland's foreign ministry.
He noted that Polish journalists made up the largest group of foreign correspondents covering the war, adding: "Societies are tired of it, yet women are still being raped, people killed, cities and infrastructure destroyed every day."
"We cannot forget that," Włodarczyk said.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II.
