SENATE HOUSE LIBRARY “Writing in Times of Conflict” - official video review
FREQUENCY. Senate House’s exhibitions change twice a year. So expect to come once on a hot summer day and the other - this.
LOCATION. Nearest station: Russell Square.
Exit the station and turn left into the Square. Keep walking to the next corner, then turn left and walk past Wiener Holocaust Library. You’ll see a small alley to your right. Walk to its very end to head to the reception through a glass door.
Take the lift or stairs to the fourth floor for the library.
CURATIONAL CHANGES. They’ve finally decided to divide the area into sections. So “Writing for peace” goes to one corner, “Writing in protest” for another etc.
All shown on a map that turns out to be excessively simplified. Imagine what it’s like to have coloured geometric shapes that are too surreal for anyone to decipher.
EXHIBITS. This is a library. As with previous exhibitions, you’re here to see books.
Books that are otherwise unopened in these times had it not for showcases like this.
Some of the big names include Mandela, HG Wells and John Maynard Keynes.
Let's chat about your travel.
Time is asset: save it for better with a 25-min museum tour. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
Date of visit: 2019.10
