Sebastião Salgado: Genesis

The world premiere of Sebastião Salgado’s photographic exhibition Genesis, edited, designed and curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado, opens this month. The majesty of nature and the balance of human relationships with our fragile planet will be explored through more than 200 spectacular black-and-white photographs by the world-leading photographer. The culmination of eight years’ work, Sebastião Salgado: Genesis draws together images of landscapes and wildlife, alongside those of human communities that continue to live in accordance with their ancestral traditions and cultures. The exhibition builds on the Museum’s reputation as the home of the planet’s best nature photography.
