Nature in Art is the world's first museum dedicated exclusively to fine, decorative and applied art inspired by nature.

Our growing collection is housed in a fine Georgian mansion dating from the mid 1700's. We regularly change our displays and have a vibrant programme of temporary exhibitions supported by an unrivalled programme of artists in residence. International in scope, appeal and stature, Nature in Art is a must for all those interested in world-class art, nature and heritage.

Our collection embraces two and three-dimensional work in all media and styles ranging from Pablo Picasso to David Shepherd. Spanning 1500 years, it includes work by 600 artists from over 50 countries. So whether you prefer exotic oriental treasures or watercolour landscapes, the Flemish masters and contemporary glass, modern abstract interpretations or bronze sculpture, textiles or ethnic art there will be something here for you…and you are likely to make some new discoveries too! You can also enjoy light meals, home-made cakes and other snacks in the Hayward coffee shop, overlooking the sculpture garden. You can also browse our museum shop, which stocks a range of books, prints and art materials.

Nature in Art also offers an extensive programme of art courses for adults, with over 30 running each year from photography, silk painting to woodcarving. There is something to suite everyone and all skill levels.

As well as these adult based art courses, Nature in Art runs child art activity days; whereby children from ages 3-18, can try out new art techniques. To find out more visit our education based website: www.discoveryzone.org.uk
