We are proud to house over 35,000 artefacts and 75,000 historic books in our Museum, of which we create regular exhibitions to bring these objects to life and tell their stories. All exhibitions are in collaboration with the British Jesuit Province.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Folio 400: A Summer of Shakespeare
This year is the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio, and a programme of events and exhibitions are planned around the world to celebrate what is possibly one of the most famous books ever printed. Out of perhaps 750 copies printed in 1623, 235 First Folios are known to remain; one of which, of course, is in Stonyhurst’s Arundell Library.
This exhibition will be available to the public from July 7th 2023.
Past Exhibitions
Relic Exhibition
The virtual showcase, “How bleedeth burning love”: British Jesuit Province’s Relics of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, presents treasured relics belonging to priests and laypeople martyred for their Roman Catholic faith in England and Wales in the 16th and 17th centuries - and canonised by Pope Paul VI on 25 October 1970.
Hot Holy Ladies
The exhibition examines the lives, circles and works of a selection of influential, educated Catholic women who carried out remarkable acts of creativity and subversion spanning the early Tudor pre-Reformation period into the George IV era of Catholic Emancipation.
