Part of the Art Science Nature seminar series, led by British Art Network bursary awardees Colchester and Ipswich Museums

Colchester and Ipswich Museums invites members of the subject specialist networks British Art Network and NatSCA – along with other interested museum professionals, academics, researchers, artists and beyond – to attend a seminar series on the connections between Art, Science and Nature to take place between January – March 2020.

This first seminar in the Art Science Nature series will explore the early foundations of Ipswich Museum and how key scientists and artists contributed to its creation. It will provide an opportunity to begin discussions on how art, science and nature play an integral part in museum collections.
