Nature in Art, Twigworth

Nature in Art is unique - a museum displaying the widest range of nature-inspired art in the world.

"Nature in Art really lifts the spirits"

National Heritage Museum of the Year Awards judges' report.

Within the fine Georgian mansion you'll find a truly diverse range of world class art: displays embrace two and three-dimensional work in all mediums and styles ranging from Picasso to Shepherd. Spanning 1500 years, the collection contains work by 600 artists from over 50 countries. So typically, as well as a temporary exhibition, you'll find watercolour landscapes, contemporary glass, the Flemish masters, modern abstract interpretations, bronze sculpture and even some exotic oriental treasures. With all this variety you're sure to make plenty of discoveries.

Our younger visitors can touch some sculptures, create animal brass rubbings, experiment with various materials, investigate with activity sheets and explore the garden and outdoor playground.
