Stories from the City

Following the recent launch of the new £10 note in the UK – complete with a picture of British literary heroine Jane Austen – the Bank of England Museum is holding the Stories from the City exhibition. As well as celebrating the new note, looking at both the security features and the theme of money in Jane Austen’s works, the event also explores the bank’s wider literary connections. Stories from the City will be running throughout 2018.
