Why make time for it
Bindweed, passionflower and common vetch provide the botanical starting points for Clare Woods’s woven works, which consider plants pushing across barriers. The display is free to visit during museum opening hours. It is closed on 18 October for the Harvest Festival, even though the wider exhibition continues into November. The split schedule here preserves that exception. Check the museum’s daily hours before travelling and combine the tapestries with the wider collection only if your chosen admission permits it.
