GMT 2000: A Portrait of Britain in a Week

GMT 2000 is an ambitious book of 375 pictures from world-renowned agency Magnum Photos that record how Britain spent the week leading up to the year 2000, and capture the nation on the threshold of a new era. GMT 2000 will cover not just the parties, events and launches, but the full spectrum of human experience, including those people for whom the days were business as usual, such as nurses and farmers, whose everyday commitments transcended the event. The photographs taken inside the Millennium Dome itself will capture the spirit of the place, from the formality of the Queen's opening ceremony to the moment the first people come through the doors; and throughout the country, the photographers will focus on how the ordinary people in cities, towns and villages embraced the year 2000.Magnum Photo Agency is the author of 'GMT 2000: A Portrait of Britain in a Week', published 2000 under ISBN 9780002201728 and ISBN 0002201720.
