Canon UK & Ireland has announced the next chapter of its ‘World Unseen’ photography exhibition, now coming to Dublin in partnership with the Photo Museum Ireland. 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.

Following its successful debut last year at Somerset House in London, and other locations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, ‘World Unseen’ will be hosted in Dublin from Wednesday 11 to Sunday 15 February 2026, offering 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.

Guido Jacobs, managing director, Canon UK and Ireland, said: ‘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.’

Trish Lambe, CEO and artistic director, Photo Museum Ireland, said: ‘Photo Museum Ireland believes visual culture should be accessible to everyone. Canon's World Unseen exhibition celebrates what is possible when art and technology work hand in hand. By opening up new sensory pathways into photography, World Unseen invites every visitor, sighted or visually impaired, to engage with images in a deeper, more connected way. We are proud to host it here, for free, and for everyone.’

Canon’s elevated print technology, powered by its Prismaelevate XL software and Arizona printer series, has been used globally to support museums and galleries in making art more inclusive. This exhibition continues that mission, offering a compelling showcase of how innovation can open new possibilities for people with visual impairments.

Admission is free, and further information will be available via the Photo Museum Ireland’s website.
