Recreation forms part of immersive six-month project at National Trust’s Blickling Estate exploring importance of books
In the cellars of one of England’s grandest country houses will be a recreation of a university library destroyed by militants in Mosul, Iraq. In a nearby corridor are copies of a bestseller censored by the Pentagon. Upstairs a book banned in China has been inserted in a bookcase of innocuous 19th century volumes.
The displays are at the National Trust’s Blickling Estate, part of an immersive six-month art project exploring the importance of books, which opens to the public on Tuesday.
