Agatha Christie: A World of Mystery at the British Library

Marking 50 years since her death, the British Library presents its largest exhibition on Agatha Christie – the bestselling novelist of all time – in almost 25 years. A World of Mystery goes behind the books to explore how Christie’s life, travels and interests shaped iconic creations like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Across five immersive sections – the country house, the dispensary, the train, the dig and the theatre – visitors encounter over 100 items, many never displayed before: her 1937 Remington typewriter, notebooks and typescripts, 1917 pharmaceutical study notes, correspondence, photographs, and costumes from screen adaptations. Developed with Agatha Christie Limited and the Christie Archive Trust, and supported by Great Western Railway. Tickets via bl.uk/agathachristie.
