LEARNING CENTRE
The Pen Room is more than just a passive museum at which visitors can only look at objects. It is a hands-on collection - visitors, especially children can try writing with quills and dip pens etc. You can also try writing in braille or use a court Stenograph.
LIBRARY
We are seeking to build up a library of books relating to writing implements. If anyone can offer such books they will be gratefully received.
