Wildlife Photographer of the Year

World-famous photography exhibition
24th November 2023 – 8th September 2024
The annually recurring competition, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, is the world's largest of its kind, attracting the most talented amateurs and professionals from around the globe. Now, you can experience the 100 best photos of nature and wildlife selected in 2023 in a thought-provoking special exhibition at the Natural History Museum of Denmark.

Explore some of the world’s greatest habitats, see fascinating animal behaviour and get to know extraordinary species in an exhibition that excites millions of people each year. With gravity, wonder and humor, the world's most talented photographers portray the beauty and fragility of nature. Go deeper and discover the surprising – and often challenging – stories behind the images during a time of environmental crisis.

The many beautiful photos show the diversity of life on Earth, and they inspire us to reflect on man's place in nature and our responsibility to protect it.
