This exhibition was originally intended to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Joseph Banks (1743–1820) and considers the life and achievements of an Old Etonian whose influence reached round the world during his lifetime.

Artworks and objects from the College Collections are presented alongside loans from the Natural History Museum London, the Linnean Society of London, the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and private lenders to illustrate Banks’s legacy and help re-evaluate his global impact which arose from the Endeavour voyage.

Free exhibition, open on some Sunday afternoons, as well as by appointment, Monday – Friday, 10am – 4pm.
