Families in Leeds can be taken over with the spirit of the Amazon this summer, as Thackray Museum of Medicine is set to play host to a forest-themed feast for the senses.

The museum has partnered with The Wellcome Collection to bring Regarding Forests installation to The Thackray, which organisers say "evokes an atmosphere of tranquillity and provides visitors with a space to rest and relax".

Translating the power of these ancient forests, Chrystel Lebas’ installation seeks to provide a "restorative encounter that reminds us of our reliance on the natural world".

The photos will be accompanied with a soundscape.

Lebas’ photographs will be accompanied by a soundscape composed with the noises of birds and wind recorded on location. The installation is complemented with a scent of petrichor that evokes the smell of the forest floor after it has rained.

Another event, set to be a highlight of the season, will be 'On the Trail of Tranquillity’, a series of themed walks in Beckett Street Cemetery and hosted by Balbir Singh Dance Company.

Inspired by Regarding Forests, the local dance company will flavour their walks with interpretive art, dance and poetry performances.
