East Riding of Yorkshire Council is reminding residents that the hugely popular free exhibition, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, on loan from the Natural History Museum in London, closes on Saturday, 22 April.
The touring exhibition at Beverley Art Gallery in the Treasure House has been open since 10 February, but its ten-week run in the East Riding comes to an end at 4pm on Saturday 22 April.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year features 100 awe-inspiring images, from fascinating animal behaviour to breathtaking wild landscapes.
It is the most prestigious photography event of its kind, which has provided a global platform showcasing the natural world’s most astonishing and challenging sights for over 50 years.
It is one of the East Riding’s major events as part of Hull UK City of Culture 2017, in which East Riding of Yorkshire Council is a principal partner.
Councillor Richard Burton, portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture, said:
“We have been amazed by the popularity of this exhibition, which has attracted thousands of people to the Treasure House and Art Gallery, many of them for the very first time.
“We have had many people saying they want to come back and see it again, so this is a reminder that this is their last chance!
“There is no doubt that Wildlife Photographer of the Year has helped to get the East Riding’s role in Hull 2017 off to a stunning start. Here’s to many more big events this year!”
Opening times :
Monday, Wednesday and Friday : 9.30am to 5pm
