Open now! Pop along to the Millennium Gallery to see our new redisplay of the Ruskin Collection, Capturing Colour ✨
John Ruskin was in awe of the endless colours and beauty he saw in nature and wrote “There is not a leaf in the world which has the same colour visible over its whole surface”. 🍃
He believed that art could never compete with the beauty of nature and that artists must reflect the unique effects of light to truly capture the colours of the natural world.
The display explores Ruskin's ideas through over 50 examples of beautifully crafted drawings, watercolours, manuscripts, textiles, decorative metalwork and more. These highlights form the Ruskin collection go on display alongside works by contemporary artist Abigail Reynolds and students from Brantwood Specialist School.
Entry is free, please donate if you can.😊
