Great Expectations can now be viewed once a month
Earlier this year, the Museum was pleased to share the handwritten manuscript of Charles Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations’ with visitors as part of a six-week exhibition that coincided with the airing of the BBC’s most recent adaptation of the novel.

For its care and preservation, the manuscript has now returned to its previous display- cycle and is viewable on the first Saturday of each month.
