Exhibition of “top 50 photos"

The Ljubljana Castle hosts the “National Geographic – Top 50 Photos” exhibition of all time as selected by the editors of National Geographic until 14 September 2014. On 29 August and 1 September the tour of the exhibition will be guided by the internationally renowned photographer and the exhibition curator, Arne Hodalić.

This summer the Ljubljana Castle and the National Geographic have organised the “National Geographic – Top 50 Photos” exhibition as selected by the editors of a magazine which has been a synonym for best photography of our planet for 126 years. And of all these tens of thousands of photos that have accumulated over many years in the archives of the National Geographic Society, the editors selected the top 50 of all time. From the eternal Afghan girl of Steve McCurry, which is a sort of a representative image of this magazine, all the way to Nichols' photos of Jane Goodall with a chimpanzee and the first shots of the sunken Titanic ...

All this and much more this summer in the Gallery "S" at the Ljubljana Castle every day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m..

"Probably, it is not wrong to say that this particular magazine represents a dream of every news report and travel photographer from around the world. This iconic magazine has been publishing the images from the most wild and remote areas from all the continents, from the depths of the sea, the furthest reaches of space, the secrets of animal and plant world, and the latest achievements of human civilization," wrote the internationally renowned Slovenian photographer, photo editor at National Geographic Slovenia and curator of the current exhibition, Arne Hodalič, who will guide the tour of the exhibition on Friday, 29 August at 5 p.m. and 7.30 p.m., and on Monday, 1 September at 5 p.m.

The tickets for the guided tour can be purchased at the Ljubljana Castle Information Centre, at the funicular’s lower station, via the Ljubljana Castle website and at the Moje karte website sales spots.

The exhibition has been viewed by almost 13,000 visitors since its opening at the Galerry "S" five weeks ago.
