This exhibition has closed

It closed on 23 August 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at British Library: American Revolution: 250 Years from the Declaration of Independence.

Visiting British Library

A family-oriented exhibition on fairy tale traditions, displaying books, illustrations, theatrical costumes, puppets and pop-up work, with hands-on storytelling and theatrical-design activities built around the exhibits.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.

We send one email to confirm the address and keep nothing else. Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe. How we handle your data.
