Exhibitions
Made in Ancient Egypt
From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?
Wren Library
Fri 6 September 2024 - Sat 14 September 2024
Wren Library, Trinity College
The Wren Library is one of the world's great library buildings and houses an internationally significant collection of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. Alongside a general exhibition of treasures, this year we have a special exhibition celebrating the bicentenary of Byron's death, exploring his network of friends, the connections across the publishing landscape of his works, and the routes of his travel. We also have a specially curated exhibition of books about plants and gardening in the early modern world.
