The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition opens at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery on 25 April 2026, running until 20 June. The exhibition, on loan from London's Natural History Museum, showcases winning images from an international competition that received over 60,000 entries. A local community photography competition focusing on 'Wildlife on your doorstep' will be displayed alongside the main show.
The exhibition represents a significant cultural event for Shropshire, bringing a world-renowned touring show to a regional museum. It is expected to boost the local visitor economy and provide educational family activities, highlighting the museum's capacity to host major international exhibitions and engage the community with nature through photography.
