The much-anticipated exhibition at Kolkata’s Victoria Memorial Hall showcases the pioneering mountain photography of Vittorio Sella. Running from 9 August to 7 September 2025 in the grand Durbar Hall, the collection features early 20th-century photographs of the Sikkim Himalaya and Karakoram ranges—capturing pristine views of Kangchenjunga and K2.
Curated by explorer Hugh Thomson and presented by DAG, this marks the first time India is hosting such a significant collection of Sella’s work. The exhibition celebrates his dual legacy as an accomplished mountaineer and visionary photographer, offering a rare visual journey through majestic Himalayan landscapes captured with historical depth and artistic precision.
For those enchanted by nature, history, or photographic artistry, this show is a must-visit—inviting you to step into a bygone era of awe-inspiring adventure.
