Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Step behind the lens and into the wild with 100 jaw-dropping images that capture nature at its most dramatic, beautiful and raw.

The world-renowned Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, now in its sixtieth year and on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, will return to Adelaide Botanic Garden this spring and summer. 

Inside the lush green setting of the Bicentennial Conservatory, the exhibition will feature 100 exceptional images that capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.  

Using photography's unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet. 

An accompanying program of exciting events will be announced soon!
