Schnelle Fakten: The library holds over 30,000 rare manuscripts, prints, and artworks from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Visitors can see a 9th-century Quran written in gold ink, a stunning highlight of the collection.

Highlights: The library showcases an elaborate 11th-century Japanese scroll depicting a famous battle scene with intricate brushwork. You can encounter illuminated manuscripts up close, including a 13th-century Armenian gospel with vibrant colors that look almost new.

Insidertipps

  • Wear comfortable shoes for navigating the different gallery levels.
  • Photography is allowed without flash; aim for the detailed manuscripts' close-ups.
  • Skip the crowded weekends by visiting mid-week mornings.
  • Explore the small café inside for a peaceful break surrounded by art-inspired decor.
