Here's an unusual new acquisition, as it's a bit of our own history. A copy of our earliest guidebook, produced a few months after we first opened in October 1962. It's fascinating to see how our collection has developed, expanded and improved since then! #ObjectOfTheWeek

Looking for a summer read? Our Visitor Assistant recommends Alice Hunt’s Republic, a biography of a daring and unprecedented decade. A terrific read, it explores the repercussions of 1649-60, which affected every aspect of British culture. Buy a copy here: bit.ly/4k0qM8b
