Let’s celebrate John Ruskin, born
#onthisday 1819 🍃
Here’s Simon Seligman from @ruskintoday to tell us how Ruskin established his collection in Sheffield to help people find inspiration in art and nature, 150 years ago.
Today, Ruskin’s gift to the city lives on at the Millennium Gallery. The latest exhibition, Storm-Cloud reflects on John Ruskin’s 1884 lecture, Storm-Cloud, which was one of the first to discuss climate change and make a link to industrial pollution.
Storm-Cloud brings together work from the Guild of St George’s Ruskin Collection curated by young people, video work by Jake Goodall and research by the University of Sheffield to explore the legacy of Ruskin’s groundbreaking observations.
