Edward Lear Nature and Nonesense
To celebrate the bicentenary of Edward Lear (1812–1888) the Ashmolean is holding an exhibition covering all aspects of his work. From early natural history illustrations and extraordinary landscape sketches, to the nonsense drawings and verses for which Lear is so well known, the exhibition draws on the Ashmolean’s own collection, one of the largest and most important in the UK, and includes significant loans from the Bodleian Library and private collections. Galleries 58 & 61 | £4 / £3 Concessions.
