Editorial reading

Editorial interpretation: the juxtaposition of geographically named settings offers a way to consider how an exhibition represents distant environments. Reading the planted spaces alongside the discovery centre invites attention to the relationship between immersion and explanation.

Recommendation

Compare the named Asian landscape displays with the explanations in the discovery centre. Check the operator’s current programme, admission and collection access before travelling; the historical photograph does not establish today’s planting or events.
