Exhibitions

The British Library collections are of world heritage status and contain both the memory of the nation and also the DNA of civilisation.

In essence, the British Library is about ideas – the knowledge and ideas inherent in the collections themselves and the ideas created by the people who use them.

Our exhibitions provide a shop window on the Library’s remarkable collections, creating compelling stories and presenting engaging new ways of looking at the world of ideas.

Each exhibition opens up a new range of opportunities for companies to become more involved in our work. We can offer unrivalled entertaining and employee engagement opportunities, privileged access to our collections, and association with a trusted brand.

It was love of the stories of Northumbrian saints such as Cuthbert that lead me to study Anglo-Saxon history at university and support the St Cuthbert Gospel appeal.

I am an alumnus of Durham University and lover of Durham Cathedral. I admire the work of St Cuthbert and St Bede.
