Welcome to Nature in Art, where art and nature inspire and delight
Welcome to Nature in Art, a truly unique destination that celebrates the intricate and beautiful relationship between the natural world and artistic expression. As the world's first museum and art gallery dedicated solely to fine, decorative, and applied art inspired by nature, we offer an unparalleled collection that is sure to captivate and inspire. Our home is a stunning Georgian mansion, located just outside the historic city of Gloucester, and featured in Simon Jenkins's book 'England's 1000 Best Houses.'
Our collection is at the heart of Nature in Art, and it is here that visitors can explore a diverse selection of work, including paintings, sculptures, textiles, and ceramics. The collection is constantly growing and evolving, and we are proud to showcase the work of both renowned artists and emerging talents. Through our carefully curated exhibitions, we aim to highlight the infinite creativity that nature fosters.
Beyond our collections and exhibitions, Nature in Art offers an extensive programme of events and activities throughout the year. From art courses for all ages and abilities to talks and workshops, there is always something happening at Nature in Art. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage with art, and our events reflect this commitment.
