A Decade of Exhibitions in Armagh Robinson Library

For over a decade the Library has hosted a variety of temporary exhibitions, drawing objects from its own collections.

The subjects ranged from the beautiful, extra-ordinary, unknown, interesting to the thought-provoking.

In our current temporary exhibition some of the works that were on display in the past decade have returned.

We have highlighted different objects represented in our collections: marbled papers, gems, prints, medals and medieval bronze bells.

We have also displayed some of the books that have evoked surprise and awe amongst our visitors during past exhibitions.

There are Isaac Newton’s Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica, Paxton’s Magazine of Botany, and Register of Flowering Plants, the 1770 Census of Armagh, the Breeches Bible, a 16th century Book of Hours and Roman Missal, a late 17th century collection of maps, and two works by 18th century women writers, Bluestocking Society Elizabeth Montagu and mathematician Maria Agnesi.
