About ‘Don McCullin. 90’
The gallery is honored to celebrate ‘Don McCullin. 90’ in the photographer’s home county of Somerset, marking his 90th year and coinciding with ‘Don McCullin. Broken Beauty’ at the Holburne Museum in Bath. The presentation will span both the Bourgeois and Rhoades galleries, including works featured in McCullin’s 2019 Tate Britain exhibition in London, alongside seminal images across his seven-decade career. His only self-portrait, taken in 1963 at Crowthers Reclamation Yard, Isleworth, will be exhibited for the first time in the UK.
The exhibition is on view from 14 February through 12 April.

He is the recipient of the University of Oxford’s Bodley Medal: Life and Work Award (2025) for his outstanding contribution to photography and journalism. He was knighted in the 2017 New Year Honours for his lifetime services to photography.
