# Spherical Photographic Displays The Steve McCurry MACRO Museum Exhibition is Mesmerizing By Ana Lopez | Published 2012-01-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steve-mccurry2 References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/unique-exhibition-steve-mccurry-macro-museum) & [stevemccurry](http://stevemccurry.com/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spherical Photographic Displays:** Opportunity for innovative exhibition design that enhances the viewer's experience and creates a more intimate connection with the art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Museums and Art Galleries:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in displaying artworks using unconventional and immersive methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Photograph-Centric Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-seoul-museum-of-art.md) - [Interactive Colorful Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-hockney-bigger-closer.md) - [Travel Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-within-the-detour.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md) - [Immersive Dome Exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumisphere-experience.md) - [Three-Part Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1.md) - [Playful Button-Focused Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beau-mccall.md)
