I had the great honour of showing the UK Culture Minister, Ian Murray, around the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, along with Deputy British Ambassador to the UAE, Jonathan Knight .
The largest museum of its kind in the Middle East, Minister Murray was first welcomed by Peter C. Kjærgaard, Director of the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and was then shown through the galleries and exhibitions by Dr Mark Jonathan Beech.
One of the exhibitions the Minister was shown was the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (2025), the international photography exhibition showcasing 100 wildlife images from around the world. The exhibition is a collaboration with the Natural History Museum, London — one of the UK’s most celebrated scientific and cultural institutions.
