Canon World Unseen
11 – 15 February 2026
Canon UK & Ireland in partnership with Photo Museum Ireland is proud to announce the next chapter of its World Unseen photography exhibition.
This immersive and accessible exhibition invites visitors to experience photography in a completely new way, showcasing the power of Canon’s elevated prints technology and its impact of enriching lives and businesses.
World Unseen will offer a tactile and sensory experience through elevated prints, audio descriptions and braille. The exhibition is designed to make photography more inclusive and to demonstrate how technology can transform the way we engage with visual storytelling.
Visitors will encounter a series of striking images that showcase how imagery can be experienced through touch, to tell stories, communicate and evoke emotion. The adaptations not only raise awareness of accessibility in the arts but also highlight how inclusive design can enhance experiences for all audiences.

Canon Ambassador: Multi-award-winning South African photojournalist Brent Stirton
We believe that everyone should be able to experience the power of visual storytelling. ‘World Unseen’ is a testament to how technology can break down barriers and create meaningful, inclusive experiences for all.
