\nThere are lots of reviews online for this exhibition. I hadn\u2019t read more than one or two before I went and was unprepared for the sheer scale of it.  Over 300, sometimes large, prints from 140 photographers.<\/p>\n

A selection from the personal collection of Elton John and David Furnish but what a collection. It sets out, according to the description, \u201cto explore the connection between strength and vulnerability inherent in the human condition.\u201d
\nMany images by some of the most famous photographers of the era, including iconic images you may be familiar with but also encompassing details of everyday life of everyday people. From the 1950\u2019s to the present day.<\/p>\n

The curators have divided it into rooms<\/strong>
