Description

This exhibition has has not opened yet

This exhibition runs from Friday 14th February 2025 to Thursday 15th May 2025.


This exhibition explores ideas about time in the Middle Ages through a remarkable collection of concertina-fold almanacs.

Fewer than 30 of these curious manuscripts are known to exist.

Concertina-fold almanacs have been called ‘medieval smartphones’ – they helped their users keep track of time, look up information, and organise their lives. Funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund has made it possible to bring a group of them together for the first time and display their colourful contents alongside the rich holdings of Lambeth Palace Library.
