REVIEW: Water Pantanel Fire

Heartbreaking, beautiful and urgent this stunning photographic show highlights the fragility of the worlds largest wetlands. Sprawling across Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay and home to an abundance of animals, birds and fish this extraordinary ecosystem is being ravaged by fire, global warming and human deforestation.

Over 60 striking images capture the breathtaking beauty of the Pantanal and the devastation it now faces. Hugely moving the gravity of this crises will stay with you long after you leave the exhibition.

With several images of burnt and dead animals the museum recommends the show if only for ages 12+. If you have a sensitive child this might not be the show for them.
