The National Park Service turns 100 this year! To celebrate, the National Park Service has teamed up with the National Museum of Natural History to present over 50 images by award-winning photographers, showcasing the majesty, diversity, and importance of America's national parks. Photographs present stories and snapshots from monuments and historic sites, battlefields and picturesque natural scenes from lakeshores and seashores to trails and preserves where both wildlife and people come together.

The 50 images in the exhibition include 14 panoramas by nature photographer Stan Jorstad and 27 images by Carol M. Highsmith, a photographer of America’s cultural and natural heritage.
