The World Press Photo Award highlights the best press photography from around the world. This exhibition displays the short list on display in Edinburgh as part of a global tour.

Award-winning images from 57 photographers representing 25 nationalities are featured, chosen by the World Press Photo jury from 101,254 that were originally submitted by 5,247 photographers.
Open Monday to Saturday, late opening Thursdays. Entry to the exhibition is free.
