Ruskin’s Botanical Studies in the Data Immersion Suite – Summer 2025
20 May 2025
Preparations are underway for The Ruskin to host a digital exhibition in the University’s new Data Immersion Suite in June 2025, taking advantage of the many high-resolution screens to showcase the quality and versatility of the Collection. The theme of the exhibition is John Ruskin’s botanic studies, taking his lecture diagrams as a starting point for show-casing the collection, alongside high resolution images of his book, ‘Flora of Chamonix’, and the collection of daguerreotypes.
