Visitors at the arboretum will observe some of the most remarkable animal behaviors in the new National Geographic exhibition, “The Greatest Wildlife Photographs.” The finest wildlife images from the pages of National Geographic magazine have been selected for this exhibition. Curated by the acclaimed nature photography editor, Kathy Moran, this exhibition offers a festive perspective on wildlife, featuring images captured by National Geographic’s most legendary photographers, including Michael “Nick” Nichols, Steve Winter, Paul Nicklen, Beverly Joubert, David Doubilet, and others. Highlighting the evolution of photography, the images depict how advancements such as camera traps, remote imaging, and underwater technology have enabled photographers to engage with wildlife in their true habitats.
For 115 years, National Geographic has led and advocated for the craft of wildlife photography, mesmerizing generations of invested audiences with a consistent array of stunning images of animals in the wild. Starting with the very first image of its kind – a reindeer in 1903 – publications from the National Geographic Society have continuously broken new ground and elevated the standards, establishing an unparalleled legacy of artistic, scientific, and technical excellence.
