Tour: The World Around Us
ANNUAL PASSHOLDERS ONLY – On this tour we enter an enchanting world where the mysteries are waiting to be explored in this year's major special exhibition, The World Around Us.
Join us on a journey through 200 years of photographic history – and see the world with new eyes!
Be shown around The Black Diamond's new exhibition The World Around Us, where the images open up like windows to time, place and atmosphere.
Curator and senior researcher Mette Kia Krabbe Meyer takes us behind the camera and into the treasury of the National Photo Collection – this time with her gaze directed outwards towards the world around us.
Here you will get a sensory journey through two centuries of photography, where we see how photographers have captured and interpreted the countryside and city – from the poetic landscapes of the 19th century and the pride of industrialization over the growth of the city, to today's sharp eye on climate and natural change.
The exhibition spans from the 1840s to 2023 and features everything from classic landscape photography and architectural images to conceptual art, documentary and contemporary photography. Here, masters of the past meet with the voices of today – including Tine Bek, Nanna Debois Buhl, Inuuteq Storch, Pia Rönicke and Emil Ryge – who each show what the world looks like today in their own way.
The World Around Us is for those who love history, art and nature – and for everyone who knows that a photograph is never just a picture, but a look at the world.
