Darwin museum is happy to once again host an extraordinary exhibition of artworks by divers-photographers from all around the world – the Fifth   Underwater Wildlife Photo Festival.

Fantastic photographers, among which winners and awardees of many international photo competitions in the category “underwater photography”, are inviting you on an exciting journey to the world of seas and oceans inhabitants. You will meet amazing seahorses, adorable seals, dragon like iguanas, dangerously beautiful jellyfish. Discover the wide variety of underwater inhabitants from tiny krill to huge sperm whales the size of a school bus.

For the years of its existence, the festival has won the hearts of visitors of all ages from different parts of Russia. This year is sadly the first one for the festival to be held without its founder -a separate exhibition stand will be devoted to the talented photographer-diver and traveler Dmitry Vinogradov. Some of his favourite works will amaze you by the professionalism they were taken with and their unusual topic – sunken ships and airplanes.

Main partners of the festival: the State Darwin Museum, Moscow open photo club, Russian Wildlife photographers union and The Russian Geographical Society.
