River Monsters exhibition to open at Bristol Aquarium
River Monsters #WhatWeSee
From Friday 27 November images from ITV’s hit series and global phenomenon ‘River Monsters’ are going on display at Bristol Aquarium.
The inaugural River Monsters #WhatWeSee exhibition showcases over 25 incredible photographic images from the hit series that is hosted by extreme angler explorer Jeremy Wade, and produced in Bristol by Icon Films.
Visitors to the Harbourside attraction will be able to get up close and personal with some of Wade’s biggest catches, most remote and inhospitable fishing locations and bizarre looking fish.
“It’s a great pleasure to be able to share some of the great pictures we have taken throughout the 7 series, as well as some of the behind the scenes moments,” said Laura Marshall, Managing Director of Icon Films.
“We’re all big fans of River Monsters here at Bristol Aquarium and we can’t wait to open this new exhibition for visitors,” said Bristol Aquarium’s Sarah Moore.
“We hope thousands of people will enjoy this fascinating insight in to the world of River Monsters and Jeremy Wade,” she added.
Presented by Icon Films, and hosted by Bristol Aquarium, the exhibition is included in admission.
