National Geographic Exhibition: 50 greatest photographs

Paid a visit to the art science museum for the first time for the National Geographic exhibition of the 50 greatest photographs. Exhibition ends 27 October 2013 so head down soon before it ends. The exhibition showcases some of the most amazing pictures taken for the magazine. There is also a story behind each of the pictures. Some pictures looked really normal to me but CW kept telling me to read the description. He said that it's the story behind each picture that makes them amazing. As the exhibition is '50 greatest photographs', I was expecting to be blown away by every picture but I guess we have to look beyond just the picture. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You will be able to see the iconic Afgan girl picture at the exhibition. Photography is allowed but without the flash.
