Free Outdoor Street Gallery - Bath City Centre

An opportunity to celebrate, explore and be inspired by our small island, the Britain from the Air street gallery encourages visitors to learn more about and enjoy Britain's most breathtaking and thought provoking environments

From coastal erosion and abandoned villages to transport networks and the growth of our cities, Britain from the Air, combines the beauty and abstract contours of these landscapes with their stories; inviting the viewer to explore their local, regional and national environment from a completely different perspective.

Supported by text captions devised and written by the Royal Geograhpical Society (with IBG) and additional pictures which reveal the stories behind the image, Britain from the Air represents an unmissable opportunity to learn about Britain as you've never seen it before. Spectacular saw-toothed coastlines, glittering city silhouettes and the luminous trajectories of waterways are just some of the fascinating forms and shapes that will be revealed as the audience is lifted from street level to sky high while exploring Britain's wondrous and varied landscapes.

On display in Bath City Centre between September 2010 and the end of February 2011, Britain from the Air is a stunning collection of over 100 large scale images by Britain's foremost photographers, developed jointly by Wecommunic8 and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).

The images are displayed throughout the centre of Bath, in the shopping streets and squares and around the magnificent Bath Abbey. Free to view and accessible 24 hours a day, this extraordinary outdoor exhibition offers the opportunity to visit again and again with friends and family.

The official launch of the exhibition is set for September 28th at Bath Abbey, at which time, a giant walk on map of Britain will be unveiled in the City Centre, allowing visitors to walk the length and breadth of the country over a 16 x 8 metre map, exploring the precise location of each image.
