If you haven’t been to the Maritime museum and you didn’t watch the equestrian events during the Olympics (or that’s the story you’re telling your friends anyway), then prepare to be impressed. The building dates back to the 1800s and it’s safe to say, it’s pretty grand, making it so suited to the dramatic and awe-inspiring images Adams is so famous for. The exhibition consists of 100 original prints and illustrates his passion for how water moves and exists within nature. His photographic murals will also be displaying reaching a fantastic 3 metres high.

The power of nature has certainly been felt in America recently – the cause of which is often cited as climate change. If there are any doubters of what climate change signals the end of, then this is the exhibition to convince them – the beauty of nature in all its power and glory. (Words: Laura Thornley)
