Repton Revealed Friends’ Private View
Take a private tour around Georgian England through the Red Books of Humphry Repton, led by our Curator Eleanor Black. Our new exhibition Repton Revealed: The Art of Landscape Gardening brings together 23 Red Books, the most in one place in 25 years, and explores the relationship between the interior and exterior, and between the garden and the wider landscape. It also investigates Repton himself, including his comparatively late start in landscape design (at the ripe old age of 36) and his use of a wheelchair later in life, after a carriage accident, from which he continued gardening.
10th December, 18:30 – 19:15
