Schnelle Fakten: Over 350,000 manuscripts, rare books, and drawings fill the library's collection, showcasing treasures like original manuscripts by authors such as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. The library also holds a remarkable collection of music scores and medieval and Renaissance art.
Highlights: A breathtaking detail is the library's main room with a 40-foot-high vaulted ceiling and walls lined with warm cherry wood, providing an intimate atmosphere as if you're stepping into a collector's private study. An original Gutenberg Bible leaf is on display, a rare artifact that connects visitors directly to the dawn of printing in Europe.

- Photography is allowed without flash; look for the grand main room’s ceiling for a perfect shot.
- Skip the gift shop if short on time; focus on the rare collections and rotating exhibits instead.
- Avoid weekends if possible to experience quieter halls and better access to guides.
