More than reading
Look at how a page is built up. The relationship between letters, white space and image influences the way you approach text, even before you have read a word.
Different forms
A manuscript and an artist’s book invite different questions about making and use. The current exhibition determines which examples you come across; the collecting areas mentioned are not a fixed list of items on display.
Break and deeper exploration
The shop, café and garden are offered as freely accessible. They can give you space to browse further after looking, or to take a short break, within their own opening times.
Before you go
Check the programme and any holiday or public holiday changes. The museum mentions an accessible entrance, lift and toilet; ask in advance about the specifics of your route.
