In the new exhibition Rarely Seen, you’ll find that simple photographs are not so simple after all. Based on the book National Geographic Rarely Seen: Photographs of the Extraordinary, this immersive experience from Imagine Exhibitions showcases the amazing variety of life and landscape on planet Earth. There are 50 photos featured in the exhibit, and the large prints on the walls allow for close inspection and encourage an appreciation of detail.

And the addition of multimedia aspects of sound and light projection means an emotional connection to the displays—you’ll be awestruck by a seeming ocean of penguins and enchanted with the beauty of a dark night illuminated by the fairy lights of fireflies. There are photos of humans, too, like the pope taking a selfie with a young admirer.

Near the end, you’ll find one room dedicated to the release of lanterns into the sky. It’s a great image that not only captures the moment that the lanterns rise, but make you feel almost as if you were there, and really seeing what the photographer intended.
