Through the Microscope - Secrets of Our Changing Landscape 2025

As artists in residence at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum and at the John Innes Centre (JIC), we are exploring the past present and future of the Norfolk landscape through the lens of the microscope.

Our researchis being assisted by archivists and scientists from the John Innes Centre historic collections, the newly launched Centre for Microbial Interactions, as well as by the curator at Gressenhall, Rachel Kidd.

Through the Microscope - secrets of Norfolk's changing landscape exhibition is open at Gressenhall from 17th March to the 1st November 2025. It marks 400 years of the use of the term ‘microscope’. Read the press release here.

The project will continue to develop over the summer with art trails across the museum site created with local communities. We will also co-create artwork for a tour to three Norfolk libraries as part of a British Library's Living Knowledge Network exhibition.
