Eyewitnesses & Sleuths – Mystery Walk

The mystery trail sets out to track down faces on the foundation’s grounds – whether painted, sculpted or cast. Match the eyes, piece together the portraits and prick up your ears – what exciting stories lie behind the people depicted?

Of Bookworms and Ink-Eaters – The Mysterious Library
