Touch is our first sense. Through touch we make art, stake a claim to what we own and those we love, express our faith, our belief, our anger. Touch is how we leave our mark and find our place in the world; touch is how we connect. Drawing on works of art spanning four thousand years and from across the globe, this exhibition explores the fundamental role of touch in human experience, and offers new ways of looking.

Plants have been used in the beauty and fragrance industry for thousands of years, from ancient times up until the present day. This exhibition features a range of works from our exceptional botanical collection, including watercolours, perfume vessels and scent bottles.
