What’s on
Happy New Year! We are excited to kick off our 2025 cultural events by continuing to draw inspiration from our exhibitions. Journey deeper into the medieval world through fiction and learn about the scribes, artists, and illuminators behind the magnificent manuscripts on display in Medieval Women. Or chart the origins of the global sea trade through the Spice Ports before joining our symposium to mark the end of A Silk Road Oasis.
Plus, with our new Opus Remix concerts, a thought-provoking exploration of Chinese British identity, and a meditation on the theme of memorialisation in historic Palestine, there’s plenty to explore at the Library in 2025.
