About this Event


Earth Matters marks 300 years since the birth of James Hutton, the Edinburgh-born farmer and writer who revolutionised our understanding of Earth’s creation and the ground beneath us. The exhibition includes work by over 30 artists who have been inspired by Hutton and subsequent trailblazers.

On this guided tour of Earth Matters, a member of the Botanics' Creative Programmes team will show you around the gallery, sharing their insights on the exhibition. After the tour, there's time to sit and chat about all you've seen, whilst sampling a cup of barley tea.


A creative partnership with Susanna Beaumont, Design Exhibition Scotland, Earth Matters is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and Edinburgh Geological Society, with special thanks to the James Hutton Institute. The exhibition is part of Edinburgh Science Festival, Edinburgh Art Festival, RSA200 and James Hutton Tercentenary 2026.
