Our popular Old Library exhibition 'The Theater of Plants': herbs, honey and horticulture across five centuries' took place from January-April 2017. An exciting interactive online version of the exhibition is now available! Explore 500 years of human encounters with the botanical world: from John Parkinson’s Theater of plants (1640), chock-full of herbal pressings gathered by an enthusiastic reader, to Charles Darwin’s musings on plants in his personal letters to his cousin William Darwin Fox.
