Visited the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester today to see the Don McCullin 'Shaped by War' exhibition.
If you live within a reasonable travelling distance of Manchester I would thoroughly recommend a visit.
I spent 2 hours captivated by Don's work.
Although each photograph was accompanied by a description, particular pictures did not need any introduction.

His work displays the futility of war and conflict and man's inhumanity to his fellow human beings.
I,ll say no more - if you can get there, go.

Don is also giving a two hour talk on 23rd March 2010 at the Museum about his career,which Im looking forward to.

Don's work is something special. Wish I could get to see that exhibition.
 
If you look at the Museum Website, theirs a link to 25 of the photographs used in the exhibition, not quite looking at them in context but gives you an idea what is on display

Cheers, David.
 
I'd love to see this exhibition... but I live in Norwich... a 7 hour car drive away, and I'd struggle with that considering I don't have a car. lol.

The images I've seen of Don are truly something else. A very brave man. :)
 
Sounds interesting. Will have to try and get down for a look at that.

£65-70 return on the train... or you can get it for around £20 if you're lucky booked in advance :)

Make a weekend of it :thumbs:

Go for It !! 40 mins in a car from your location - you will not be disappointed - promise !!

Norvic-boy - the exhibition is coming to Bath later in the year - that might be nearer for you - or why not try and organise a trip with other local TP members ?
