Following the recent re-opening of the Ormeau Baths Gallery in Belfast they have managed to acquire a fascinating exhibition from the renowned Magnum Photos Agency. The exhibition is entitled ‘Magnum Ireland’ and features many photographs from such world-class photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliot Erwitt, Ian Berry and others.
The images date from as far back as the 1950s to the present day and are inspiring examples of superb photography, covering subject matter from the domestic and mundane to the (unfortunately) more familiar images of violence in the 1970’s. The online gallery is impressive (as are all the other Magnum galleries) but I’m really looking forward to seeing the actual prints in the gallery. If you’re in the Belfast area try and catch this exhibition.

Davy still haven’t got to this but hopig to go soon. I am so very glad the Gallery has reopened
I think you’ll enjoy the show, that is if you can get past all the very addictive design magazines at the entance foyer.
It’s certainly good to see this gallery open again, it’s a great venue.
