Eadweard Muybridge at Tate Britain

When I go back to London at Christmas I will be going to this Eadweard Muybridge exhibition at the Tate Britain. Studying art at school, Muybridge's name came up regularly as being one of the most influential photographers ever.

He created many images of animals and humans in motion, including proving that a horse can 'fly' as it lifts all four hooves off the ground at one point during running. This was something that had never been seen before. He also contributed towards the development of cinema by creating the zoopraxiscope, which was a way of projecting animated versions of his photographs as short sequences.

I love going to the Tate Britain as it's such a large space where history and art are combined, and this exhibition is a perfect example of what can be displayed. The exhibition is the first time in which his full range of art will be displayed. It's on until 16th January so a Christmas holiday visit will be needed!
