A rabbit and some towers, Museum Gardens, York. The walls & towers built to protect St Mary's Abbey. The scene of a battle in 1644, now a peaceful garden.

After seeing the Claude Monet exhibition at York Art Gallery we went to see the wild flower meadow inspired by the Impressionist artist. A quick watercolour sketch of St Mary's Tower. With some flowers.

@SimonNewton5 👋Simon, most of our updates are available on our website, although we will be posting more content on ‘X’ this year. As detailed in the local press, we recognise the increasing financial pressures experienced by the Gallery and will support where possible.

Really not long until @YorkArtGallery joins the @NationalGallery's celebrations and has Monet's masterpiece 'The Water-Lily Pond' (1899) as the centrepiece of our 2024 summer exhibition - we're counting the days! 🥳🖼️🎨

@ClarissaOakes1 @lizziecornish1 @YorkArtGallery 👋 our understanding is that this is semi-permanent display, so it should be up for a long time.

[We're not here anymore- formerly @Yorkexplore @YorkExplore]

Our friends @YorkArtGallery have an amazing new exhibition-'Bloom'. 🪷

If you've been inspired by the show and fancy getting your garden into shape, then look no further than our excellent selection of gardening books.

It is our 190th anniversary this year! This month we look back at one of our prestigious heritage projects completed in 1887 for the York Art Gallery.

Two panels were tiled for the front façade of the building, depicting the death of Leonardo da Vinci.
