Celebrating some of the most talented wildlife photographers from around to world for 60 years in 2025, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition comes to Gloucester’s Nature in Art this February.
Running from Tuesday 4 February to Sunday 6 April 2025, visitors to the beautiful Georgian museum and art gallery — which is the world’s first dedicated to art inspired by nature — can view a collection of exceptional images from over 100 countries, which capture fascinating animal behaviour, rare species and the diversity of the natural world.
The magical underwater world of western toad tadpoles, a determined honey badger attempting to catch a spikey meal and a beluga whale exfoliating its skin are just a few of the awe-inspiring images featured in the 60th competition.
The world-renowned exhibition is on loan from the Natural History Museum in London and aims to engage and inspire audiences using the unique, emotive power of photography, shining a light on stories and animals around the world to encourage advocating for the planet.
What's more, this year’s award-winning images are embarking on an international tour that will allow them to be seen by well over a million people.
Dr Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum sums up the exhibition saying: ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’s longevity is a testament to the vital importance and growing appreciation of our natural world.
'We are delighted to feature such inspiring images in this year’s portfolio — these are photographs that not only encourage further wildlife conservation efforts, but that spark the creation of real advocates for our planet on a global scale.'
Visitors can see the exhibition when it's at Nature in Art from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm every week.
