“National Geographic exhibition” at Palazzo Blu | Pisa

The new exhibition at Palazzo Blu in collaboration with National Geographic!

The new National Geographic exhibition for the Explore cycle will be on show at Palazzo Blu in Pisa from 7 April to 25 June. After On the Moon and Beyond and Oceans, the Last Frontier, the third project is Explore. Planet Earth, curated by Marco Cattaneo, director of National Geographic Italy.

The exhibition revolves around the exploration of the Earth, what we have discovered about our planet, the variety of animals that inhabit it, ecosystems and the impact of mankind on the health of the environment. The aim is to depict the history of the Earth and its transformations, to tell the story of the extraordinary diversity of the world around us and its vulnerability.

The exhibition begins with photographs of day-to-night work by Stephen Wilkes, in which different subjects are filmed from the same position for thousands of shots over a 24-hour period. It continues with images of natural environments, from the Grand Canyon to the Serengeti, and images of human or man-made environments, from New York to the endless tulip fields in Holland. It continues with the geological history of the planet and what the layers that emerge here and there from the folds of the Earth tell us, from fossils to the slow evolution of life.
