The Earth from the Air street gallery exhibition was launched in 2002 at the Natural History Museum in London. Initially it was booked for a six-month period but after popular demand it remained at the museum for 2 years. As a national tour, it travelled around the UK over a period of 8 years, visiting cities including Bath, Birmingham, Norwich, Plymouth, Swansea, Oxford, Bristol, Edinburgh, Armagh and More London on the South Bank, London.
It is a spectacular presentation featuring over 100 large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes, combined with thought-provoking statistics surrounding environmental issues. Created by world-famous photographer and environmentalist Yann Arthus- Bertrand, every stunning aerial image tells a story about our changing planet. Seen together, they are an outstanding visual testimony to the world we live in today. A world with a growing population, shrinking biodiversity, polluted lands and oceans, a changing climate and a shortage of water. A world nevertheless of beauty and of wonder.

Born in 1946, Yann Arthus-Bertrand has always been fond of nature. It was in the late 70s, in Kenya, while studying with his wife Anne the every day life of a pride of lions that, that he truly became a photographer. He understood that he had to tell the facts through images rather than words. He also discovered the beauty of the world seen from above when he became a hot air balloon pilot and began experimenting with aerial photography.
