Nature in Art
Nature in Art is unique - within the fine Georgian mansion can be found the widest range of nature-inspired art in the world. Spanning 1500 years, displays embrace work in all mediums and styles from across the globe.
The collection contains the best creations of 600 artists from over 50 countries. So typically, as well as a temporary exhibition, you'll find contemporary glass, watercolour landscapes, bronze sculptures, the Flemish masters, modern engravings and even some ancient oriental treasures.
With such diversity you're sure to find things that appeal to you, perhaps some that intrigue or inspire you, whilst you'll certainly make some discoveries of your own.
You can also meet an artist as they work on their next creation, which can range from painting to woodcarving (Feb - Nov). There are activities for children, with special sessions during their holidays, and homemade snacks and cakes are served in the coffee shop overlooking the sculpture garden.
