The Botanical World of Mary Delany

A free photographic display of Mary Delany's intricate 18th-century paper collages, shown in Dunham Massey's Orangery.

This display, created in partnership with the British Museum, shows photographs of Mary Delany's remarkable "paper mosaiks" - botanical collages made from coloured paper, scissors and glue that were once celebrated for their scientific accuracy. It's set up inside the Dunham Massey Orangery, surrounded by the historic gardens, so you can wander round after a look at the artworks. No booking is needed and the display itself is free to view, though normal admission charges to Dunham Massey apply. The Orangery has step-free access via a ramp, making it easy to visit as part of a wider walk round the estate's gardens.
