As the leaves turn from green to gold, step into the new season at Nature in Art with its thrilling selection of must-see exhibitions, with a chock-full programme.
Highlights for the cooler months ahead include the 'Totally Tactile' exhibition, offering visitors a fantastic opportunity to engage with art in a way you might not usually get to.
Pop on a blindfold and get up close and personal with exhibits such as realistic animals and abstract interpretations, spanning wood to metal — taking time to touch and think about the artwork in front of you.
Engage with a mix of artworks from the venue's main collection, the reference library and other items kindly lent to the gallery and museum for this special occasion.
This exhibition will also mark the introduction of audio guides across galleries for those who need it.
Plus, there's also a small number of tablets available to borrow, with high contrast images of artwork on for visually impaired visitors to take in at their own pace.
Next up on the programme is 'Sketch for Survival 2025' which runs from Tuesday 21 October 2025 to Sunday 16 November 2025.
An initiative run by Explorers Against Extinction, visitors will see 100 original artworks, selected from entries all over the globe.
Sketch for Survival showcases a range of different art styles and unites the voices of people all around the world in support of conservation.
The competition helps raise vital awareness about species extinction and biodiversity loss while also raising funds for projects around the world through the sale of exhibits.
Finally, take advantage of 'Fresh!' a selling exhibition of contemporary crafts running from Tuesday 25 November up until Sunday 21 December 2025.
Just in time for the festive season, find a thoughtful gift for a loved one with items spanning ceramics, glass printmaking and more.
Each item is inspired by the messages behind the UN International Year of Glacier Preservation, concerning fresh water, global warming and the economic importance of glaciers.
Glaciers are a vital source of freshwater and sustain the spectacular and diverse life found on earth.
