THE MOOR GOES WILD An exhibition is now open and will be in the city for the next six months until next March thanks to a partnership between Sheffield City Council and the Natural History Museum. Popular Sheffield retail area The Moor’s Wild Planet photography Wild Planet is a free outdoor photography exhibition featuring 80 of the most spectacular images from Wildlife Photographer of the Year – the world’s most prestigious wildlife photography competition and the Natural History Museum’s longestrunning and most successful annual exhibition. Visitors can experience stunning photographs of wild animals, creatures and landscapes whilst finding out more about some of the
world’s most highly acclaimed wildlife photographers. Wild Planet merchandise and memorabilia will be available from the Wild Planet store, located at the heart of the exhibition. The Moor is one of Sheffield’s most historic retail centres. It is home to the city’s oldest independent department store, Atkinsons, as well as a host of household names like BHS, Debenhams, Peacocks and Sainsburys. It has benefitted from stunning new public realm works and is soon to be the new home for Sheffield Markets. The Moor enjoys high levels of footfall and a diverse and appreciative audience, boasting a yearround programme of free public events spanning a classic
car show to Fright Night’s Little Brother. The area is already known for its stunning art installations making it an ideal ‘catch all’ location for the exhibition, which is touring the country with the aim of reaching new audiences. Dr Michael Dixon, Director of the Museum said: “The Natural History Museum is delighted to be bringing this new free touring exhibition, Wild Planet, to Sheffield. Wild Planet celebrates stunning images from past years of the highly successful annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition which is an international leader in providing new insights into the natural world. Through Wild Planet the Museum aims to give new audiences
the opportunity to be inspired by these dramatic images of nature and to take individual responsibility to care for the future of our planet.” Councillor Roger Davison, Sheffield City Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Sport and Tourism said: “It is a great honour for Sheffield to host this remarkable exhibition and The Moor is the ideal location. It is walking distance from all of the city centre’s major hotels; it has great public transport links and a wonderful, diverse range of events that attract people to the area throughout the year. I hope that Sheffielders and visitors to the city enjoy the exhibition over the next six months.” Sheffield is the
second city to host the exhibition and the first venue in the north of England thanks to the partnership between the Natural History Museum and Sheffield City Council. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition is owned by the Natural History Museum, London and BBC Wildlife Magazine. Each year, the best of the entries are
showcased in a highly popular exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London before touring regionally and internationally.
