The world-class photography exhibition is back.

Offering an insight into the artists working in the medium today, the Sony World Photography Awards bring the best images from the past year to the West and East Wings of Somerset House.

This curation is a unique opportunity to see all of the winning and shortlisted images under one roof. Explore the very best of photography across a variety of styles, themes and genres: from documentary to wildlife, portraiture to architecture, sport to still life.

  • Discover the best photographs from the past year in a diverse display of over 300 pictures

  • See Joel Meyerowitz’s work in a new light through an immersive, mixed-media presentation

The exhibition opens from 11am to 7pm on on weekdays and weekends and from 11am to 6pm on bank holiday Monday. Get 50% off with your National Art Pass or Student Art Pass.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to upgrade to a combo ticket granting entry to both the exhibition and an exclusive artist talk on 21 April at 7pm at Logan Hall, offering a unique chance to hear from Meyerowitz himself. The talk will be moderated by John Wilson, an acclaimed British broadcaster and journalist.

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
