Dan Perjovschi – visiting artist

The Library was lucky enough to be visited by Dan Perjovschi over the weekend and he's left his mark on the North Stairwell.

He's used the subject areas and collections that can be found on Floors 3, 4 and 5 of the Library to create his images. 

The more you walk past them the more thought provoking they become...
