This exhibition has closed

It closed on 14 June 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.

Exhibition on paratexts (titles, annotations, bindings, marginalia) in Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish and Samaritan manuscripts from the collection, developed with cognitive-science researchers studying how readers navigate sacred texts.

The Iconotheca Letter

One letter a week, on a Tuesday. What was researched, what a chain turned out to say, and what is closing 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.
