‘The Map' by Rachel Fallon and Alice Maher, and 'We Are The Map' by @sineadgleeson and @strandsmusic. Beautiful and provoking exhibition on at @RuaRed
On July’s #travel theme, 2 paintings from the collection @NBGGlasnevin. Augustine Henry travelled to China, where he worked in the Imperial Customs Service. A renowned botanist-the mountain goral was named in his honour, Kemas henryanus. #ExploreYourArchive
Forthcoming show @NGIreland features a number of artworks from the @NBGGlasnevin library collection. Really looking forward to the exhibition. It’s an exciting time for #BotanicalArt
George Edward Massee, mycologist and plant pathologist, was born #OTD in 1845. His daughter, Ivy Massee, also had an interest in #fungi and provided assistance and #illustrations for the book ‘British Fungi’ (1911). @NBGGlasnevin #sciart
Some seasonal paintings from the @NBGGlasnevin library collection- Lydia Shackleton is perhaps better known for her orchid portraits, but we also have a collection of her native plant paintings. Here are the festive holly and ivy. #botanicalillustration
