The Armitt is a unique combination of museum, library and gallery devoted to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of the Lake District. Mary Louisa Armitt founded the Library to foster an exchange of ideas in the local community. The Library opened in 1912. Beatrix Potter was one of the Armitt’s early supporters, and the museum holds a number of her family’s books as well as her personal first editions of the ‘little’ books. Her major gift however came in the form of a large number of exquisite botanical watercolours. At the centre of our exhibition ‘Beatrix Potter, Image and Reality’, these works reveal fascinating and lesser-known aspects of her life story.
