This talk introduces The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth, our 2025 exhibition that celebrates the vital connection between humanity and nature.
By bringing the outdoors in and showcasing objects from the Devonshire Collections alongside contemporary commissions, the exhibition highlights Chatsworth’s evolving relationship with nature—past, present, and future.
