Current exhibition at the Main Library

‘I Planted a Seed’: Childhood, nature and creativity is a free public exhibition in the Main Library. Opening soon.

‘I Planted a Seed’: Childhood, nature and creativity

Children’s imaginations are inspired through storytelling, exploration and creative play and the natural world continues to fascinate us, even as society has become increasingly urbanised. From traditional fairy tales to childhood writing and drawing, youth movements and the classroom, nature is ever-present in the exhibition which includes items from the Folklore Society collection, held at UCL.

‘I Planted a Seed’ is to be located in the Main Library Stairwell and 1st floor. An exhibition catalogue and digitised collection items will also be available online for anyone to access.
