On display Monday 7 April to Saturday 26 July 2025
12 days from now
Open during Local History Library opening hours
The Hidden Beauty of Seeds and Fruits displays the carpology collection of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh like never before. Award winning British photographer Levon Biss, painstakingly examined 3,500 historical specimens, selecting those with the most striking evolutionary adaptations and stories. Many of the specimens date back to the early 19th Century and were collected by the pioneering botanists of their time, including those on the Challenger Expedition in 1872.
The images presented by Levon allow the audience to appreciate and study these tiny specimens in levels of detail normally only available with the use of microscopes. Using his photo stacking techniques and bespoke camera system, Levon is able to capture unprecedented levels of detail from specimens far too small to view with the naked eye providing us with an insight into an unseen world.
