Discover the enduring power of letter writing in this interactive and hands-on exhibition. Step into a space where the written word takes centre stage, and engage with various writing stations that encourage meaningful communication. Whether you want to reach out to your Member of Parliament, leave a thoughtful message for another visitor, or send a heartfelt note to a loved one using vintage typewriters, this exhibition invites you to slow down and reflect through the simple but powerful act of writing.

Throughout history, letter writing has played a vital role in shaping public opinion and fostering active citizenship. From the personal to the political, letters have helped share ideas, voice concerns, and advocate for change. They’ve connected individuals across distances, helped communities rally around causes, and contributed to the democratic dialogue that continues to shape societies. This exhibition celebrates that legacy and highlights how the practice remains relevant today.

Visitors are encouraged to write their own letters during their visit. Whether it's an appeal to a decision-maker or a personal message to someone you care about, you can drop your completed letter into the on-site mailbox—and the museum will post it for you. In this way, the exhibition not only honors the tradition of letter writing but actively invites you to be a part of its living history.
