He told <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP): \u2018It\u2019s disgusting. It should be a voluntary charge\u2026 They [the images] should be available to see, for free.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Blackmore claimed: \u2018Given the images on show, I think it is relatively outrageous. It is a random selection for what are supposed to be benchmarks in the history of photography.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Among those positive about\u00a0the show, however, is Emma McLean, an entertainment agency account manager, who\u00a0turned to\u00a0Twitter after seeing a preview. She wrote: &#8216;So excited to see the masters of the RPS collection&#8230; If you are a photography fan, you cannot miss this\u00a0show.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Asked why there is an admission fee for access to images that form part of the National Photography Collection, a Science Museum spokeswoman told AP: \u2018Income generated by the exhibitions programme is fed back into the running of Media Space for the project to be sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Although a large number of works on show in Media Space throughout the year are from the National Photography Collection, there are also loans on display.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u2018The preparation of a major exhibition involves shipping, insurance, research, conservation and installation costs.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The museum offers \u00a35 concessions for children aged 12-16 years, students, the unemployed, and disabled people, as well as 50% discounts for seniors on Mondays and Tuesdays after 3pm, and family tickets.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Virgin Media Studio in Media Space is a free offer, changing throughout the year, and representing different aspects of photography and the National Photography Collection,\u2019 added the spokeswoman.<\/p>\n<p>RPS director general Michael Pritchard described the \u00a38 fee as \u2018modest\u2019 compared to many other one-off exhibitions, and given that it allows people to see images by some of the world\u2019s greatest photographers, normally confined to Bradford.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Most museums and galleries make a charge for temporary exhibitions that\u00a0cost a great deal to organise and prepare,\u2019 he told AP, adding: \u2018The RPS Collection is also available for anyone to see in the National Media Museum\u2019s Insight research centre by appointment, without charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Additionally, the museum\u2019s current digitisation project is making images from the Collection available for anyone to see online.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>AP understands that the RPS has no control over the Science Museum admission price.<\/p>\n<p>The RPS Collection contains more than 250,000 images, 8,000 pieces of photographic equipment and 31,000 books, periodicals and documents.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the launch of the exhibition, the Science Museum said: \u2018From serene landscapes to exquisite nudes, this new exhibition brings together over 200 extraordinary highlights from the collection of the world\u2019s oldest surviving photographic society, by some of the greatest names in photography.\u2019<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40530\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg\" alt=\"Afghan Girl, Pakistan, 1984 \u220f Steve McCurry.web\" width=\"630\" height=\"945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Afghan-Girl-Pakistan-1984-\u220f-Steve-McCurry.web_.jpg?resize=562,843 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Photo: \u00a9 Steve McCurry<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40531\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg\" alt=\"2003-5001\/2\/24130\" width=\"630\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg?resize=300,377 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg?resize=319,400 319w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2014\/12\/Larry-Burrows.web_.jpg?resize=562,706 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Larry Burrows on assignment in Vietnam<\/em>\u00a0[Photo:\u00a0\u00a9 National Media Museum, Bradford \/ SSPL]<\/p>\n<p>The RPS Collection was moved to the NMM in Bradford, from the RPS\u2019s base in Bath, in 2003.
