It celebrates her early talent for storytelling, her business acumen and her fascination with the scientific study of the natural world, as well as her passion for sheep farming and conservation – a legacy still felt today.<br /> Across four sections, the exhibition follows Potter's journey from London to the Lake District, where she eventually settled.
