In Bloom Exhibition Curators Talk

Join Dr Francesca Leoni and Dr Shailendra Bhandare, the co-curators of our major spring exhibition, In Bloom: How Plants Changed Our World, and exhibition designer DaeWha Kang, as they unveil the many stories surrounding some of Britain's most popular blooms, from tulips and roses to poppies and orchids.

Following risky individual ventures and corporate enterprises, these plants will take us from ships and tropical forests to nurseries, botanic gardens and elegant parlours, revealing how their collecting, study and trade dramatically transformed the world we live in.
