Exhibition Curator’s Talk: Unfolding Time

Join us for a short curatorial introduction to our newest exhibition, ‘Unfolding Time’, after which the curator will be present for questions and discussion.

Come and explore medieval concepts of the past, present and future through a rare and remarkable group of manuscripts: concertina-fold almanacs. Within the zigzag folds of these extraordinary books, time is vividly expressed in colourful pictures, poems, tables and devices. With fewer than thirty manuscripts known to exist, this exhibition brings a group of them together for the first time and sets them alongside treasures from Lambeth Palace Library.

Unfolding Time is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to bring these precious manuscripts together, and make them freely accessible to the public. Generous additional support comes from the Friends of Lambeth Palace Library.

Curatorial talk times: 10:30am, 11:30am, 2:00pm, 3:30pm

All are welcome, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Friday 2 May.

Please note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.
