February 22 – August 16, 2020
Muzeo Museum & Cultural Center is proud to present 50 Greatest Photographs of National Geographic in our Main Gallery. This beautiful and educational exhibition showcases National Geographic’s most compelling photographs, the photographers who took the famous shots and the story behind each image. From Steve McCurry’s unforgettable Afghan girl to Nick Nichols’ iconic image of Jane Goodall and a chimpanzee to Thomas Abercrombie’s never-before-seen view of Mecca, the exhibition includes National Geographic magazine’s most remembered and celebrated photographs from its more than 130 year history.
In addition to viewing these beautiful photographs on an amazing scale, visitors will learn the stories behind the photos and about the photographers themselves. For some images, visitors will be able to see the “near frames” taken by the photographer—the sequence of images made in the field before and after the perfect shot. Travel the globe in one very special exhibition, here for a limited time!
