S. Elliot’s The Song of the Jellicles. \nSketchbooks and rough drawings give a rare insight into Blake’s writing and book design process\, as well as the creation of characters for Roald Dahl’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and his own Mr Magnolia. \nThis exhibition features original illustrations courtesy of Quentin Blake.\nQuentin Blake: Illustrating Verse is a touring exhibition from Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. \nExhibition information:\nDates: 4 March – 3 June 2023 We are closed on Sundays and Mondays

SUMMARY:Wildlife Photographer of the Year world-renowned exhibition

Using photography’s unique emotive power to engage and inspire audiences\, the images shine a light on stories and species around the world and encourage a future of advocating for the planet. \nWildlife Photographer of the Year is the most prestigious photography event of its kind\, providing a global platform that showcases some of the best photography talent from around the world for over 55 years. Launching in 1965\, today the competition receives entries from over 90 countries all over the world\, highlighting its enduring appeal. This year’s award-winning images will embark on an international tour that will allow them to be seen by well over a million people.   \nThe Wildlife Photographer of the Year 59 competition opens for entries on 17 October and closes on 8 December 2022. \nThe judges of the fifty-eighth Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition had an extremely difficult task. Every entry was judged anonymously on its creativity\, originality\, and technical excellence by an international panel of industry experts.  \nThe winning images\, including the prestigious Grand Title Award winners\, were announced on 11 October 2022 during a glittering awards show hosted by wildlife presenter and conservationist Chris Packham.  \nDr Doug Gurr\, Director of the Natural History Museum says\, ‘Captured by some of the best photography talent from around the world\, the 100 photographs encourage curiosity\, connection and wonder. These inspiring images convey human impact on the natural world in a way that words cannot – from the urgency of declining biodiversity to the inspiring bounce back of a protected species.’
