Photographs include mammals, fish, insects and birds from remote corners of the earth and a stunning selection of plant life, full of vibrant colours and unusual specimens.

This captivating exhibition shows photographs from the world’s largest and most prestigious wildlife photography competition, jointly organised each year by the Natural History Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine.

Open to adult and junior entries, the competition attracts both professionals and amateur photographers who go to the most extraordinary lengths for their art.
