The Nature Library will reopen at Stills Centre for Photography in Edinburgh on Thursday 29 July 2021.
Situated in the front gallery space, The Nature Library will display books by writers, artists and photographers inspired by the natural world, including books from Stills’ own library collection, all exploring the links between nature, art and literature.
To further bring the outdoors in, the reading space has been dressed with a botanical installation by Wild Flower Workshop and scented by A Library of Olfactive Material.
