Beatrix Potter's unique combination of storytelling skill and a naturalist’s eye for detail have provided a lasting appeal, her carefully observed animal portraits perfectly setting off the prose which highlights that chaos follows when mischievous mice and curious kittens break the rules.
For anyone unable to access the upstairs gallery, we have digital versions of exhibitions on iPads which are available on lower levels.
