Biophilia - at Musgrove Park Hospital
24 November 2025
Biophilia, in partnership between Dorset Visual Arts, The Arborealists and Musgrove Park Hospital organised by Art for Life.
This diverse exhibition, which focuses on our relationship to the natural world and creative health and wellbeing, will move to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, in early 2026 after showing at Dorset County Hospital and Royal United Hospital Bath.
This specially-expanded show features over 60 works from members of The Arborealists, Dorset Visual Arts and other selected artists responding to the theme Biophilia, with a particular focus on trees, woodland, hedgerows and commons.
Wellbeing and biophilia are important to all of us but particularly in a hospital setting where many are unable to get outside. By visually representing biophilia, or ‘bringing the outside in’, the exhibiting artists hope to uplift the environment and support staff and patient wellbeing.
Thank you to Arts in Hospital, Art at the Heart of the RUH and Art for Life for supporting the project so far.
