We are delighted to be hosting a group exhibition by The Scout Hut Artists for @BucksArtWeeks On display until Sunday 23rd June, 23 local artists have created new work in response to Milton's life and writing as well as our #museum, #collection and #garden @StGilesVillage
In this installation photograph of an artwork work by Simon Brewster, two miniature fallen angels sit on a Swan Vestas matchbox with their arms folded. A third angel, nearest the camera, rests against the matchbox with one hand in his pocket. The airfix grey of the model angels are a striking contrast against the colourful matchbox, which evokes the flames of hell.

Happy #NationalPoetryDay from Milton's Cottage "o'er which the mantling vine / Lays forth her purple Grape, and gently creeps / Luxuriant...". In keeping with this year's theme, #ParadiseLost is full of beautiful poetry about our #environment

Happy #LibrariesWeek everyone, and especially to all the amazing libraries and library staff across the world. 🎉 #lovelibraries #libraries 📚🌍
A quote from Andrew Carnegie. A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
