The Natural History Museum’s 54th Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is running at the Lichfield Street venue until Sunday, September 1.

It features awe-inspiring images capturing fascinating animal behaviour and breathtaking landscapes.

It is the first time the full collection of the blockbuster show has been in Wolverhampton and it is the final UK showing before the 55th competition opens in London.

Councillor Harman Banger of Wolverhampton Council said. "This is a wonderful exhibition for all ages and yet another example of the exciting family activities Wolverhampton has to offer. What better way to spend some time during the summer holidays?

"I hope those who have not seen it yet will get along to enjoy it before it closes."

Dario Podesta – Wildlife Photographer of the Year

The full exhibition includes 100 images that fall into eight categories including young photographer, diversity, rising star and more.

Now in its 54th year, the competition received more than 45,000 entries from professionals and amateurs across 95 countries.

Every year, the best images submitted are selected to form the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, which tours venues across the world to millions of visitors, helping to ensure that biodiversity and sustainability remain at the forefront of public awareness.

Tickets cost £5.50 for adults and £3.50 for children and family tickets start from £14.50. Concession and group booking deals are available. Call 01902 552055 for more.
