THE EXHIBITION

Climate change, poverty, habitat loss, human rights… Hard Rain explores the issues that are defining the 21st century

Here are pictures of four recent exhibitions: the striking display designed by Alan Bennell, Head of Visitor Services, for the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh; the Real Jardin Botanico in Madrid; the Tällberg Forum, Leksands Museum, Sweden; and at the Eden Project in Cornwall on a rainy day.

Jesus… When you have seen this exhibition, life stops for a moment. I don’t know how people can go on like this. I listened to the song as well. It was so moving. Even at the age of twelve, I find it hard to comprehend this. I cried over it.

This disturbing, powerfully moving work is a masterpiece that summons up the ghosts of our past and a vision of the future that was ours to change. Regret and optimism make strange bedfellows, but great artists have always known this.
Tim Smit, Chief Executive and co-founder,

The strength of emotion the pictures and words combine to evoke is unbelievable. It gives a very strong reminder for all of us to do our bit. I'll recommend anyone buys this book and looks at it regularly as I always will. Thank you.

This book inspires me to try and stand again. To know that others share this bleakest outlook brings a ray of hope. At first I thought that Dylan’s lines should not be illustrated. I was wrong.
