Images of past and present form the latest exhibition at The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands called 'Now & Then'. It is an extraordinary merging of the past and the present through the magic of modern technology. Any history buff familiar with the Cayman Islands, should make visiting this exhibition a priority before it ends on 11 December.
To see these archived pictures set inside shots of the same locations, but in the present day, is a fascinating experience.
Photographs from the National Archive and the Cayman Free Press Steinmetz Collection, were replicated and digitally merged by photographer Courtney Platt, who took all the recent photographs in the exhibition.
The Cayman Islands National Archive plays an essential role in documenting the evolution of Caymanian society by preserving and contributing to the individual and collective memory.
There has been an positive reaction to 'Now & Then' since it opened to the public on 12th October, and Natalie Urquhart, director of the gallery, said she has been thrilled to see residents and visitors enjoying it so much.
