An illustrated talk by Simon Trapnell.
This is a great chance to find out more about the stories behind some of the exhibits in the Treasure Hunter exhibition, the beginnings of Nature in Art itself and some of David Trapnell’s treasure hunting exploits. Nature in Art did not develop from an already established collection (as many museums have), or the search for a sympathetic use for a building or a desire to use a sum of money to leave a lasting legacy. At Nature in Art’s start there was no collection, no building and no money – just an idea and a dream fuelled by energy and enthusiasm. The items in Treasure Hunter just hint at the journey that we have been on, and still are today.
