The Great Outdoors was an exhibition on display at the Williamson when we first reopened after being closed for 15 months due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The exhibition was inspired because so many people had developed a greater appreciation for nature and the ‘great outdoors’ during the lockdowns, when so many of our usual pastimes were unavailable to us and we found ourselves with more free time to fill. These resources have been developed to look at the weather and the seasons, and how we may choose to spend our time outdoors at different times of the year.
