Two of the remaining original charter documents are on display, and the exhibition traces the fight for liberty and rights from 1215 to the current day.
There is also a series of events linked to the exhibition.
Tomorrow, Friday 1st May (6.30-8pm) the British Library is hosting a panel discussion. Participants will consider the international legacy of Magna Carta and the rule of law in the 21st century, asking 'how safe are our rights today?'.
