The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth

The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth is our 2025 exhibition that celebrates the vital connection between humanity and nature. The exhibition features both historical and contemporary works of art from the Devonshire Collections, and is supported by key loans from national and international museums, and new artist commissions. Inspired by the estate itself, The Gorgeous Nothings builds on the work of an important lineage of landscape designers, gardeners, scientists and botanists who, over the last six centuries have planted, gathered, foraged, researched, collected and preserved an array of botanical treasures at Chatsworth, from rare botanical volumes and illustrated manuscripts in our library to coveted specimens in our garden and grounds.

The exhibition title 'The Gorgeous Nothings' is taken from a poem by American poet Emily Dickinson and references the author’s habit of composing poetry on assembled scraps of paper and used envelopes. The ‘gorgeous nothings’ she refers to in one such poem are vital and existential matter to her.
