Incredible pictures of the natural world will be on display in the first exhibition at a newly reopened museum.

Brighton Museum and Art Gallery will host the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPOTY) exhibit which has dozens of stunning photographs on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, from September 14.

The images capture fascinating animal behaviour and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.

WPOTY has showcased some of the best photography talent from around the world for nearly 60 years.

“It is even more fabulous to be opening with WPOTY exhibition which we know is extremely popular with our visitors especially families and young people.

The exhibition will run until March 16, 2025.
