As a part of our Keats 200 programme celebrating the bicentenary of John Keats living at Wentworth Place, we have been highlighting key anniversaries of Keats’s life 200 years ago. I thought the Art UK curations tool was a great way to bring some of the in-depth stories and details from Keats’s letters to life and, in a way, it has allowed us to ‘recreate’ Keats’s experience of this exhibition. Please share your comments with us on our social media channels. Tabitha Deadman, Cultural Heritage Trainee at Keats House
