British Library Conservation Studio
After an introduction on the work of the studio, conservators will show us what they are working on and describe the task and techniques involved. The image is a page from the 7th century St Cuthbert Gospel, the earliest European book to survive intact, acquired by the British Library in 2012. Please note that places on this visit are very limited.
Meet at 2.00pm in the Foyle exhibition area, Centre for Conservation, British Library, 96 Euston Road, NW1 2DB. Nearest tube – Kings Cross, St Pancras.
