An exquisite restoration by HaworthTompkins architects does justice to a collection which foreshadows Google’s image search and the postcard walls of student bedrooms
There is something soothingly institutional about London’s Warburg Institute, something I was anxious might be lost in the wake of a major restoration and rebuilding, but was delighted to find is still very much there. In parts, the interior can look a little like a history of filing systems: stacks of index card drawers atop steel cabinets beside heaving bookshelves, document boxes and wooden cases. But there is nothing technocratic about its contents.
This striking cultural, temporal and topological coincidence, which seems almost too good to be true, gives way to the new Kythera Gallery, the Warburg’s first space for exhibitions open to the public. In January 2025, its inaugural show will explore the evolution of Tarot and includes part of the Sola Busca, the first known pack of tarot cards, and designs by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris.
