Developed and curated by Te Papa, Brian Brake: Lens on the World is a stunning exhibition by one of New Zealand's most internationally acclaimed photographers.

Featuring more than 150 photographic reproductions from Te Papa's collection, this exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective of this notable Magnum photographer's work, spanning his forty-year career.

Works on display include images from Brake's 'Monsoon' essay on India; those he was invited to take in 1950s Communist China and Soviet Russia; Roman and Egyptian ruins as they were in the 1960s; candid shots of celebrities such as Pablo Picasso; photographs taken for National Geographic; and groundbreaking work with craft objects and taonga Māori.

Brian Brake: Lens on the world gives an unprecedented insight into Brake's life and his view of the world. As well as prints, the exhibition includes images displayed in digital presentations, and examples of magazines in which Brake's work appeared.

Entry free with admission to Museum. Locals and under 5s free.
