There is less than a week left to visit the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at Guernsey Museum. The collection is on loan from Natural History Museum, London, and the final day is Sunday 20 March.
Inside the exhibition, Museum visitors are invited to gaze through the lens of some of the world's best wildlife photographers and marvel at the beauty of our planet. Displayed alongside insights from Natural History Museum scientists and experts, the images inspire and astound, leaving visitors with a deeper understanding of the issues facing nature and the actions we can take to protect it. In all there are 100 images, with the two winning images shown in spectacular lightbox displays. They have been selected by a panel of judges from more than 50,000 photographs that were submitted from 95 countries.
Dr Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum says, 'These extraordinary images showcase the rich diversity of life on Earth and spark curiosity and wonder. Telling the story of a planet under pressure, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition illuminates the urgent challenges we face and the collective action we need to take. This year’s inspiring exhibition will move and empower audiences to advocate for the natural world.’
This exhibition is complemented at Candie by The Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Open hosted by Guernsey Arts. Admire local wildlife ranging from puffins & dolphins to kingfishers & garden frogs. With contributions from 50 local photographers and featuring Chris Bale’s images. The final day of this exhibition is also Sunday 20 March.
