Nature in Art

Twigworth

 

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.

An inspirational, interactive and comprehensive collection portraying the history of two famous local regiments, The Gloucestershire Regiment (The Glorious Glosters) and The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars.

Dedicated to the history of both regiments and the challenges of soldiering around the world, both in peace and war, the museum is a tribute not only to their traditions and achievements but also their century’s long links with the County.
