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.
