The Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) presents - Wildlife Photographer of the Year. This exhibit at the RBCM in Victoria, British Columbia.is a travelling exhibit from London's Natural History Museum.\n\nThis is an annual favorite, now in its 58th year, featuring a selection of photojournalism from award winning photographers from around the world. It even features a selection of award-wining photography from youth 18 and under. It is a visual educational experience for the whole family.\n\nThe photos are presented in a darkened gallery in a huge backlit display. The landscapes shimmer, a tiger leaps from one photo, a shark swims into the darkness in another. Other photos tell the story of our increasingly populated planet, and the challenges animals and people face in an ever-changing world increasingly affected by climate change and pollution. How amongst it all we still manage to hang on and survive, for now.\n\nAs exciting as the photos are the captions explaining the technology used in capturing the shot and the story behind each photo is just as interesting. Wildlife photography is not easy, and patience is key. The innovation and fortitude of the photographers in capturing these amazing shots is astonishing. \n\nThis exhibit opens December 16, 2022, and runs until April 16, 2023, admission to the exhibit is part of the regular admission price of the museum, $5.00 for all ages for the day. The price will increase in the new year to $18 for adults and $11 for seniors and youth. The reduced prices reflect that some of the regular exhibits are closed now due to renovations. TICKETS may be purchased either online or at the museum.\n\nThe museum also has an IMAX theatre available at a separate ticket price, cafe, and two gift shops accessible on the main floor.
