In addition to the permanent Shakespeare Exhibition displays, an extensive selection of wood engravings by the artist June Crisfield Chapman is on show.
Her engravings are taken from literary themes or theatre characterisations, including characters from Shakespeare, Chaucer, Commedia dell-arte and Ancient Greek plays.
Alongside are the tools and boxwood blocks used to achieve the dramatic images.
