Exhibitions - September 2024

The Gardens of Eden, Fruit Orchards and Overgrown Gardens. Nature and Landscape in Historical and Contemporary Illustration
August 16 - September 29, 2024

What did early modern herbariums look like and what do the nicest ones look like today? The exhibition will take you through a rich book culture depicting nature and the landscape from medieval travel books and Benedictine herbal gardens through the herbariums of highly learned doctors to contemporary illustrators, who pay tribute to medieval illuminations and early modern printed illustrations. The display is a visual celebration of both the cultivated gardens and the overgrown ones, from a seed to a mountain belt, from the Middle Ages to the present.
