Today, visitors to @Rubenshuis walk through Rubens’ revived garden - a place where scholarship meets soil, where archival notes become blossoms, and where art history literally grows around you.

This summer at the Attingham Summer School, I encountered one of my favourite Mughal miniatures for the first time in person - the Marigold from the Clive Album, on loan from V&A to Chatsworth House.

The marigold belongs to the exhibition The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth, curated by Allegra Pesenti. Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s “gorgeous nothings” - poems scribbled on scraps of paper - the show explores how fragile things preserve memory and meaning

Gathering, Dickinson reminds us, is both preservation and survival. At Chatsworth, centuries of botanical books, herbaria, paintings, and plantings are shown alongside contemporary works — all tracing flowers as symbols of beauty, resilience, and history

Encountering this marigold in Derbyshire - once part of a Mughal album linked to Shuja ud-Daula & Robert Clive - makes visible how objects travel, transform, and carry memory across continents and empires
