THE WONDER OF WILDLIFE
SOME of the best wildlife photography from around the world goes on show at Scotland Street School Museum tomorrow.
The Glasgow location is the only Scottish city to host Wildlife Photographer of the Year during its worldwide tour, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London.
It also offers the chance to showcase some of Glasgow’s natural history collection alongside the award-winning images.
“These 100 awe-inspiring images showcase the talent of international photographers who have been commended by Wildlife Photographer of the Year,” says chairman of Glasgow Life, Councillor Archie Graham.
“The incredible range of photographs shows unique behaviours, inspiring landscapes and thought-provoking snapshots of a moment in time.
“We are delighted to host such a prestigious international touring exhibition at Scotland Street School Museum.
“We are confident that the striking photographs, contrasted alongside some of Glasgow Museums’ wonderful natural history collection, and complemented with an exciting programme of related events, will be a big draw this summer.”
Over the past 50 years the competition invites professional and non-professional photographers from across the world to enter their finest images.
Launching in 1965 and attracting 361 entries, today the competition receives almost 42,000 entries from 96 countries highlighting its enduring appeal.
An international panel of judges chose 100 images as the greatest for exhibition and publication in a corresponding book of the same title.
