The Scottish Maritime Museum on Irvine Harbourside has collaborated with The Nature Library to create a permanent home for the innovative and, until now, touring pop-up collection of land and environment writings.
The Nature Library, which was founded in 2019 by Ayrshire-based artist, photographer and writer Christina Riley, will be housed in one of the Museum’s shipyard worker tenement flats at 122 Montgomery Street.
The brand new library, which has toured across Scotland since its inception, will open with a launch weekend on Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5 from 10am until 4pm.
As well as enjoying the carefully curated works connecting readers to land, sky and sea at the library, visitors will also be able to borrow books.
The Nature Library will also offer a regular programme of workshops, events and residencies and feature a dedicated children's area.
Eva Bukowska, Exhibition & Events Officer at the Scottish Maritime Museum, said: "We’re thrilled to partner with Christina and help The Nature Library develop from pop-up to permanent resource at the Scottish Maritime Museum.
"The Nature Library will be a great addition for our visitors as well as an exciting new attraction for the Harbourside. We’re also looking forward to collaborating with Christina on some exciting ocean and coastal-themed activities and events over the coming months."
Christina Riley, Founder of The Nature Library, added: "I founded The Nature Library when I recognised that books by authors like Rachel Carson, Kathleen Jamie and Nan Shepherd were having a significant impact on my work as an artist and my actions in day-to-day life.
