In a distant land, high high up, where the sun always shines
and you can see all the world below
in a magical corner, almost hidden from view,
is a tiny snow-filled world of fairy splendour . . .

Come to the 4th floor and you can see the Postcard Display for yourself,
vintage snowy images filled with delight . . .

The Display 'the soft and silent snow' takes its name from a 19th c poem by George Washington Bungay.

Postcards "in the soft and silent snow' are situated at the far south end of the floor opposite the Picture Collection Desk, and though hidden in shadows and recesses to protect its delicate nature, still calms the eye and revives the spirit.

We hope you'll take a peek when you come for a visit.

For a description of some of our services, please see our earlier post: Artists, can you picture this?
