If it comes anywhere near your neck of the woods go to see it. To be surrounded by the photographs is a completely different experience from looking at them in a book. Salgado's 'Migrations' had the same effect for me.

Ask yourself if your pictures have any narrative content, anything approaching mystery, surprise and delight, or if they make any statement which hasn't been stated by someone else better and before.
