exhibition ending
Today I took down the medieval manuscripts exhibition. Thanks to all who visited! It went well – a report will appear in the new year, and of course blog posts etc will continue to appear, and will remain, here on the blog.
Dismantling an exhibition is not something that’s usually documented, perhaps because it’s such an anticlimax. But it’s a good task for the end of the year, leaving everything safely back in storage and the decks cleared for new adventures.

Exhibits resting, returning to their normal closed shape. Doesn’t look like enough to fill every case in the place!

one book box occupying most of a big table
biggest and smallest codices displayed
…and back to the repository…
