A collection of winning images from the prestigious International Garden Photographer of the Year (IGPOTY) Ten Year Anniversary Exhibition. The exhibition will feature the very best botanical photography from across the world, celebrating the beauty and importance of plant life in its many diverse forms.
The career of Agnes Martin (1912 – 2004) spanned nearly five decades. During this time, she became one of America’s foremost abstract painters. Her style was underpinned by her deep belief in the emotive and expressive power of art. She sought to represent how nature made her feel and could make us feel – humble, joyous, free. For Agnes, the horizontal line was her joy; the expanse of the horizon and open plain or the serenity of the sea.
The art in this exhibition is a response to prehistoric man's influence on today's landscape, and a reflection on our relationship with the distant past. Mysterious stone circles, intriguing barrows, exhilarating hill forts and illuminating finds: the essence of history, of human hopes and fears over the years.
Andover Museum is open from 10:00 - 17:00 Tuesday-Friday, 10:00 - 16:00 Saturday. Entrance to the exhibition is free, but donations are welcome.

We're starting a regular games event at the bar, which will be free entry (although donations to the charity that runs the building are always welcomed and encouraged).
