The Curators' Choice
The Curators' Choice section is a group of objects from both the Verdant Works collection and the Discovery Point collection that the curators have chosen as some of their favourite items. They are not necessarily the most glamorous or the most famous but they have piqued the interest of the people who work with them and we hope that they will interest you too. This selection will be changed a few times a year.
