Kew to open botanical art gallery

Post by Sweetpea on April 19th 2008, 8:41 am

London's Kew Gardens is to open the world's first gallery dedicated to botanical art works - some of which have never been seen by the public.

The £3m attraction will exhibit art from the collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and from collector Dr Shirley Sherwood.

Kew has a vast collection of more than 200,000 art works.

Some of the illustrations of extinct species are thought to be the only surviving record.
