Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition

Love Nature? Join us for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition!

Gaze through the lens of some of the world's best wildlife photographers and marvel at the beauty of our planet.

The world-renowned exhibition, on tour from the Natural History Museum in London, features exceptional images which capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular flora and landscapes, and the breath-taking diversity of the natural world.

In a world-first, the photographs will be displayed amongst a living botanical collection: the lush and leafy rainforest environment of the Bicentennial Conservatory within beautiful Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Using photography's unique emotive power, the images will inspire and astound, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the issues facing nature and the actions we need to take to protect it.

Attracting millions of people annually worldwide, Wildlife Photographer of the Year is renowned not only for its compelling imagery but also for the quality of its interpretation.

Launching in 1965, today the competition receives over 50,000 entries from all over the world, highlighting its enduring appeal.

With a record-breaking number of entries from 90 countries, the judges of the 57th Wildlife Photographer of the Year have had the toughest job yet.

Every entry was judged anonymously on its creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.

Make a day of it! While you're in the botanic garden, we encourage you take the time to explore its revitalising, iconic green pathways too.

We look forward to welcoming you here soon.
