Exhibition Tour: Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Friday 27th September, 11:00-12:00

 

Join us every Friday at 11:00 for a free tour of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition with our trained museum guides! This is a great way to delve deeper into the exhibition and learn about the powerful stories behind the images on display.

This tour will take you “behind the lens” to enjoy the magic of the natural world through a study of some key exhibits. You’ll also be learning about the different approaches and techniques used by wildlife photographers, and and how these inform the variety of photographs on display.

These tours are drop-in, and are free with your museum entry ticket. Please meet your guide outside the exhibition space ready to start at 11:00 promptly.
