The renowned American photojournalist Steve McCurry has some of the most striking images ever captured from multiple cultures around the world, which is why the MACRO museum in Rome, Italy, created a mind-blowing exhibition to display his outstanding work. McCurry’s photos capture the soul of his subjects to tell magnificent narratives, and what better way to honor his career than with an exhibition designed to bring out the best of each shot to audiences.

The space consists of a series of dome structures that have the photographs hanging inside each circular area. This [unconventional display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition) allows for a more intimate and private admiration of McCurry’s art work. Additionally, it gives each image a more powerful and stronger presence.

With over 200 photos and up until April 29, 2012, this [modern Steve McCurry exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-tim-burton) celebrates the work of a genius.
