The Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library’s collection of Renaissance books, held in the Norfolk Heritage Centre, is one of Norwich’s greatest treasures, just waiting to be discovered. This spectacular collection contains books from the centuries soon after the invention of the printing press, books which demonstrate the different ways in which this new technology was used to disseminate knowledge, engage readers, and celebrate craftsmanship. To show how inspiring these books can still be today, East Anglian designers have produced their own creative responses to the collect ion. Drop in to the Norfolk Heritage Centre (Floor 2 of the Forum) anytime between10.30am and 4.30pm on Saturday 25 November to see what they have made, meet the designers, talk to experts about the books, and handle the Renaissance books that inspired the new work.
