About this Event

With more than 4.5 million objects to choose from, where does a curator start and what sparked the idea for Rebel Heart?

During Rare Book Week, join an exclusive curator tour through the Library's latest exhibition Rebel Heart: Love letters & other declarations.

Led by Georgia Knight, Georgia Goud and Isabel Baker, the curatorial team behind the exhibition, gain insight into this exciting new display exploring love through the Library’s extraordinary archive of soul-baring letters, intimate diaries and rare manuscripts, amplified in powerful new music commissions. After receiving special insights into the development of the exhibition, a short Q&A will follow.
