A Patron of the Arts, I See?

Oh, hello! Yes, I’ve been moving things about again. Mind the ropes there.

There’s a new display to show you, a few books I’m desperate to meet and some dates I had to pin up before they escaped me. I was only going to change one thing, but then I found another book, and that reminded me of an exhibition, and… well. You know what I'm like!

Would you like a tour? Good, good. You’re welcome to wander off if something catches your eye, just no touching the artwork, please.

The Exhibition

Spooky dates, cultural celebrations and BOOKS!
