The Lindisfarne Gospels will be on display at Newcastle’s Laing Art Gallery from 17 September to 3 December 2022, on loan from the British Library.
This will be the first time the ancient book, the most spectacular manuscript to survive from Anglo-Saxon England, has been displayed in the city since 2000 and its first showing in the region since the major exhibition in Durham in 2013.
The Lindisfarne Gospels will feature in an exhibition about its meaning in the world today and exploring its relationship with themes of personal, regional, and national identity.
Inspired by Lindisfarne Gospels 2022
Throughout 2022 attractions across the North East will host a programme of cultural events inspired by different aspects of the 1300-year-old manuscript. The year-long series of cultural events will begin in January and peak in autumn with two new visitor attractions for the region and the focal exhibition of the Gospels at the Laing Art Gallery, in a landmark loan from the British Library.
The full programme can be found at the Lindisfarne Gospels' website
