National Media Museum exhibition in Leeds

July 15, 2009

If you are looking for an entertaining yet informative day out, the National Media Museum in Leeds could be a great choice. Entrance to the museum is free and inside you will be able to explore the world of photography amongst others including television, film, internet and radio.

One photography exhibition currently on display at the museum is â€˜In Englandâ€™, created by the photographer Don McCullin.

McCullin was born in London in 1935 and is a highly respected commercial photographer. He is well-known for the very powerful and emotive photographs he has taken whilst traveling around the world and has often shared with us his shots of those experiencing war, disasters and other troublesome times. However, he does not only photograph in foreign countries and has also captured a number of images of what life has been like in England during a fifty year period. This collection of photographs explores the differences in England between those who have wealth and those who do not. McCullinâ€™s annoyance at this situation is clearly displayed through his work and it is now possible for you to explore and consider these issues with him by visiting this collection.

This exhibition will run until 27th September 2009 and is proving highly popular. If you are interested in photography, history or social issues then this collection of photographs will likely be of great interest.

The National Media Museum is located in Bradford, close to Leeds in Yorkshire, BD1 1NQ and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm.
