Our on site exhibition in 2020, ‘With Love’, featured love letters that offered glimpses into private worlds. Secret stories of heartbreak, passion and disappointment were all on view in over 500 years of letters – from a queen’s treasonous love letter, to the generous wish of a naval hero and the forlorn poetry of a prime minister.
The exhibition at Kew is now closed but you can still view the online exhibition in the UK Government Web Archive.
