Curator Talk: Faye Morrissey from The Armitt Museum

About

To complement our newest exhibition, An A-Z of Beatrix Potter, we are excited to run our new series, Curator Talks. These talks will run over five sessions as we hear from curators involved in taking care of Beatrix Potter's history and memory.

Beatrix Potter: More than just storytelling
There was so much more to Beatrix Potter than her creations of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-duck and Mrs Tiggywinkle. Potter's early life was filled with exploration and fascination with the natural world, in particular - fungi! Faye Morrissey, Manager & Curator at The Armitt, will share the history and story of Potter's journey into science, how it led to a pivotal point in her life and how, even though she took a different path in the end, she retained her interest in mycology to the end. Plus, Faye will showcase some of the remarkable artworks from The Armitt's collection on-screen.
