Remember when travel was routine, and airports were not a nightmare? Join Britain’s preeminent documentary photographer, Martin Parr, for a playful and provocative journey around the world—ParrWorld.

Martin Parr has been traveling with his camera for nearly his entire career. From early photographs in Ireland to explorations of remote locations across the UK, he is widely recognized as one of the foremost chroniclers of British life. Another side of Parr’s photography was revealed in the landmark publication Small World (1995), featuring his unique, satirical approach to global tourism and the travel and leisure industry. From famed sites such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Great Sphinx to curious corners of shopping centers, hotels, and vistas, Parr revealed the strange, unexpected, and deeply human side of consumerism in the twentieth (and twenty-first) century.

This unique exhibition combines a selection of works from Small World with photographs made later, including sensational pictures never seen before. As Parr’s fame has grown, his travels around the world have accelerated, providing fresh opportunities to photograph. Recent series include beach culture, sporting events and dance, as he has traveled from Sri Lanka to Hong Kong, and from Kenya to the United States.

Rendered in Parr’s signature saturated color, these always-popular photographs are sure to bring a smile to visitors’ lips.

ParrWorld provides opportunities for educational programming with themes including travel, migration and identity, globalization, consumerism and consumption.
