Collecting Pandemonium: John Milton in the Alexander Turnbull Library
A living collection
Installation Shot, That Serpent Milton: a radical view of John Milton from the collection of the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington: National Library Gallery, 1994
A living collection
The Alexander Turnbull Library is more than a storehouse for Milton materials. The collection is a live and active one, which the Library uses and promotes to make a serious contribution to Milton studies.
Collecting Pandemonium is the third Milton exhibition staged in the National Library Gallery. For the second exhibition That Serpent Milton (1994), curator Jim Traue displayed the entire Milton collection behind a perspex wall.
This collection comprises over 70 metres of shelving space, and is bolstered by the thousands of other books and artworks throughout the Library that relate to Milton and his times.
