turning the pages at the british library web site

http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html

the "sacred" exhibition at the british library has some of the most marvellous books in the world for you to get up close to, but don't despair if you can't get there, just click on to their link and soon you'll be turning the pages yourself

"she had a heart" from the excellent heart exhibition in the new "wellcome collection"

sorry to tell you it is a poor reproduction of a luminous & rather mischievous painting by a spanish artist, enrique simonet lombardo

both exhibitions are free
