National Art Library and Archive talks Monday 11.30
About the event
The National Art Library will open at 11.30 and 14.00 each Monday (except for bank holidays) and a member of Library or Archives staff will introduce the history and purpose of the Library and to talk about an item from our collections. We’re keen to share our enthusiasm for some of the most beautiful, historic, puzzling or downright unusual items in our care. There’ll be ample opportunity to get up close to the item and ask questions. The sessions will run for around 15-20 minutes. There is no need to book, but simply arrive at the main entrance to the NAL on the First Floor just before the session begins. We won’t be advertising the item to feature in advance - we’re aiming for an air of mystery and discovery! We want all visitors to feel welcome in the Library space, and to enjoy the books, archives, manuscripts, pamphlets, magazines and more which we curate on behalf of the nation.
