About

This tour explores the dynamic relationship between scientific discovery and the natural world through the eyes of British artists found in the collection. This tour will take you through a curated selection of works that blend observation, experimentation and artistic expression. Take in the beauty of an Arabian horse, watch a dramatic sunset upon the River Thames and analyse a science experiment that might well make you hold your breath.
