British Library

1 February 2010 - 31 December 2010

The British Library will be showing significant items in its very special exhibition ‘The British Library Philatelic Rarities’. Much of this material can only be seen at the British Library.

A small book ‘The British Library Treasures in Focus - Stamps’ describing the world rarities shown has been written by Philatelic Curator David Beech and is available to buy from the British Library shop website.

The permanent 1,000 frame ‘Philatelic Exhibition’ will be refreshed with new or not recently exhibited material from the British Library’s world class collections.

The British Library is also running a programme of free talks and tours on a variety of philatelic subjects from 'Fakes and Forgeries' to turs of the Centre for Conservation.  Read the full listing here.

For further details, including visitor information and opening times, please see the British Library Philatelic Collections website.
