Theo Deproost is a still-life and landscape photographer based in London.

He grew up in Stroud and has fond memories of visiting the Museum when it was still in Lansdown. Since 2017, he has been exploring our stored collection and taking photographs, with the aim of sharing some of its weird and wonderful (and usually hidden) artefacts with the wider public.

Theo strives for an exploratory and imaginative approach to viewing the world around us. One of his key objectives is to break down a subject to its core components of shape, texture and colour and present it to the viewer in an unconventional and compelling way.

In this exhibition you will encounter geological specimens, tropical butterflies and a selection of objects that have been collected by, or donated to, the Museum over the last century. The objects, and Theo’s images, range from the beautiful, to the slightly unsavoury, to the frankly bizarre.

The film below was produced whilst we were closed due to Covid-19. It provides a taster of Theo’s photographs and the museum objects on display in the exhibition.
