Botanical Art 
​at Major Art Galleries 
and Museums in the UK

The UK has a number of major Art Galleries, Museums and Botanical Gardens,
which hold botanical art exhibitions and have permanent collections of botanical art and illustration

This page has details about botanical art EXHIBITIONS at:
  • National Botanical Collections
    • The Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art at Kew Gardens
    • The Natural History Museum, London
  • Organised by Horticultural Organisations
    • RHS Exhibitions (wherever!)
    • ​The RHS Lindley Library 
    • The Garden Museum, London
  • Royal Collection
    • The Queens Gallery, London
    • The prince's Foundation
  • Universities
    • The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge University
    • The Ashmolean / Bodleian Libraries, Oxford University​​

The Permanent Collections (UK) Page has information about botanical art and illustration in public and private collections
I would advocate the holding of small exhibitions, changed every six months, of fine illustrated botanical books and original drawings. It ought not to be too difficult to find space in one of the museums in Kew Gardens; and the Natural History Museum has the materials for something even more impressive on similar lines

It also has talks and tours about its Botanical Art Collection.
RHS Lindley Library also offers researcher appointments on a pre-booked basis, two days every week.

Worth a Thousand Words | DIGITAL EXHIBITION ONLINE
Gold Standard Botanical Art


This is a digital version of the exhibition held in the RHS Lindley Library in 2019.   The paintings are all those who have won RHS Gold Medals for their Botanical Art - and had their artwork added to the Lindley Library Collection 
Botanical artists from all over the world compete to win a prestigious Gold Medal at RHS Shows. This display of artworks, collected over the past 20 years, demonstrates how artists have used a variety of media and techniques to capture the essence of plants in exquisite detail. 
We think they prove a painting really is ‘worth a thousand words.

Book Review: RHS Botanical Illustration - The Gold Medal Winners

The book comprises:
  • an introduction covering (1) the Lindley Library Collection of Botanical Art; and (2) the development of medals for botanical art - and notable awards made
  • commentary by the Chair of the RHS Picture Panel on the current process for aspiring botanical artists to achieve medals at the show
  • profiles of a selection of the Gold Medal Artists - 60 in total - from all over the world. This includes accounts of how some of them approached their work.
  • the Historical List of RHS Gold Medal Winners - which runs to six pages and 168 RHS Shows!
  • a detailed list of all the illustrations by their botanical latin name

The introductory essay by Charlotte Brooks is very interesting. It introduces the RHS Collection of Botanical Illustrations and its history - and how the RHS related to botanical illustrators in the past and present. I knew some of it but not all.

The Garden Museum, Lambeth
​

The Garden Museum reopened in 2017 after a £7.5 million restoration project. It's held on botanical art exhibition to date (see archive) and can be expected to do so again in future.

OPEN - but Visitor numbers inside Exhibitions are limited for reasons of social distancing, so you must book a half-hour slot.
​HISTORY: The Garden Museum, housed in the ancient church of St Mary at Lambeth is also the burial place of John Tradescant (c1570 – 1638), the first great gardener and plant-hunter in British history. His tomb is the centrepiece of a knot garden planted with the flowers which grew in his London garden four centuries ago.

Botanical Art Exhibitions in 2021

Garden Museum Exhibitions tend to focus more on gardening than botanical art - and can feature botanical artists and flower painters who were avid gardeners and plants people. They are often of interest to botanical artists and include artists who created botanical paintings as well as paintings of gardeners.
​
Raymond Booth
1 December 2021 - 6 February 2022
​
Living in suburban Yorkshire, Raymond Booth (1929-2015) spent his time growing unusual plants in his numerous greenhouses, cold frames, the family conservatory and modest gardens. Having won a scholarship to Leeds College of Art at the age of sixteen he spent a lifetime painting plants. He studied their native habitats and corresponded with plant collectors and breeders developing a deep understanding of the exotic plants he nurtured. From his garden he earned a reputation as one of the greatest botanical painters of his generation,  with a beautiful honesty to his work.
This is a selling exhibition and The income from this selling exhibition will be shared between the Museum’s education programmes and the nature charities Booth to which charities he bequeathed his estate: the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the Woodland Trust and Plantlife International.

Elizabeth Blackadder: Favourite Flowers
19 October - 21 November 2021
Dame Elizabeth Blackadder was one of Scotland’s greatest artists, celebrated for her beguiling and lyrical paintings of flowers. This exhibition, curated with The Scottish Gallery, brings together a selection of watercolours, etchings and screenprints from throughout her life in the theme of growth, looking ahead to the renewal of life that is always around the corner in the garden.

​A passionate plantswoman, Blackadder’s garden provided her with rich inspiration year-round, from daffodils to autumn leaves, tulips, iris and lilies.
