All the biodiversity has returned, even the jaguars, which were thought to be extinct in our region,” enthuses the photographer. The Institute, which is part of the UNESCO Mata Atlântica biosphere reserve, also has an educational vocation, raising awareness about the environment.

La visita è accompagnata da una traccia audio composta appositamente per la mostra da Jean-Michel Jarre e ispirata ai suoni autentici della foresta, come il fruscio degli alberi, i versi degli animali, il canto degli uccelli o il fragore dell’acqua che cade a picco dalle montagne. Disabili, Over 65, Docenti, Dipendenti del Comune di Milano (con badge nominale), Giornalisti con tesserino ODG con bollino dell’anno in corso non accreditati, Gruppi (minimo 7/massimo 20 persone) Of the many reasons one should spend some time visiting Magnum Opus, perhaps the most pertinent is that these photographs inspire feelings that we do not get enough of. Looking at Salgado’s work, one feels a sense of connection with the people and animals inhabiting the world around us, as well as thankfulness for the splendor that exists all over the Earth. You can also find the Science Museum’s What’s On guide with details of galleries, exhibitions and events at the museum here . Listings Salgado visitó a docenas de tribus indígenas que viven en comunidades repartidas por la mayor selva tropical del planeta. Documentó la vida cotidiana de los yanomamis, los asháninkas, los yawanawás, los suruwahás, los zo’és, los kuikuros, los waurás, los kamayurás, los korubos, los marubos, los awás y los macuxis: sus estrechos lazos familiares, cómo cazan y pescan, cómo preparan y comparten las comidas, su maravilloso talento a la hora de pintarse el rostro y el cuerpo, la importancia de sus chamanes, sus danzas y rituales.

orario museo

The Science Museum is open Wednesday – Sunday from 10.00 until 18.00. During school holidays the museum is open seven days a week. The problems of Amazônia are well known and urgent: fires, deforestation, intrusive agriculture, roadbuilding. But Salgado – who with his wife, Lélia, has turned the family farm in Aimorés into a nature reserve that’s a model of reforestation – shows there is still much to fight for. The modern world, for all its rapacity, has only destroyed “a little bit of the periphery. The heart is there yet. To show this pristine place, I photograph Amazônia alive, not the dead Amazônia.” In the book’s foreword Salgado writes: “For me, it is the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on earth. Here is a forest stretching to infinity that contains one-tenth of all living plant and animal species, the world’s largest single natural laboratory.” En el prólogo del libro, Salgado escribe: «Para mí, es la última frontera, un universo misterioso donde el poder de la naturaleza se puede sentir como en ningún otro lugar de la Tierra. Aquí, hay un bosque que se extiende hasta el infinito y que contiene una décima parte de todas las especies vegetales y animales existentes. Es el laboratorio natural más grande del mundo».

Mountains– Brazil also boasts mountain ranges, which feature peaks shrouded in mist and rainforest-covered lower slopes. With over 200 images, captured over 7 years spent travelling in the region, visitors will get to explore one of the most unique environments on the planet through Salgado’s eyes;

The emotions I have felt most deeply while looking at Salgado’s work have been gratitude and wonder,” said Bierman. “There’s a whole world out there that he has devoted his life to, and through his photographs you get to travel. I get a sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude for his work.”

T he Instituto now provides a home for endangered species, raises millions of tree seedlings in its nursery every year, and trains young ecologists to help protect the region’s biodiversity for generations to come. In the final section of the exhibition visitors will also discover how the Salgados are working to protect the “other Brazilian rainforest”, the Mata Atlantica (Atlantic Forest) through the work of Instituto Terra.With over 200 photographs the exhibition revolves around two themes: images of landscape settings, and of indigenous peoples.
