A single room, rich with stories
The tour concentrates on the Parkwood Library itself: a compact space where close inspection reveals hidden narratives and material detail that unfold over two hours.
Led by Parkwood’s curator, Samantha
This is a personal, curator‑led experience: Samantha guides participants through an in‑depth exploration of the library’s corners and stories.
Two hours of focused attention
Rather than a broad sweep of a site, the visit holds its focus on the library for the full two‑hour duration, allowing for detailed storytelling and close observation.
What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
The evening unfolds as an intentionally narrow investigation: you meet in the house and then spend two hours inside the Parkwood Library with Samantha, moving slowly through furniture, objects and the stories they hold so that details normally overlooked become the subject of the visit.
