A Picture of Britain explores how British landscape has inspired artists for three hundred years. It also examines how artists have influenced and changed the way we look at and think about landscape.

This exhibition takes you on a six-part journey across the country, from the Scottish Highlands to the South Downs. Each section characterises the British countryside through the eyes of artists such as John Constable, JMW Turner, LS Lowry, Paul Nash and Richard Long. By focusing on a broad range of artistic responses to landscape, the exhibition also examines ideas about travel, nationhood, industrialisation and notions of the rural.
