O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Over 17,000 ancient manuscripts are housed here, including the world's largest illuminated Armenian manuscript weighing 28 kilograms. One of the most treasured items is the 7th-century "Vehamor" Gospel, which survived being buried underground for centuries.
Istaknuto: Tucked inside a reading room that smells of old parchment and dust, a single 13th-century medical manuscript contains detailed surgical illustrations that predate similar European works by 200 years. Scholars from around the world travel here to decode marginalia doodles left by medieval scribes, including an annoyed monk who sketched a cat playing chess with a mouse.
Insajderski savjeti
- Head straight to the second floor gallery first, before crowds arrive, to see the illuminated manuscripts in hushed quiet.
- The reading room on the third floor is open to researchers but visitors can peek through the glass door for a glimpse of scholars working with centuries-old texts.
- Photography is allowed without flash in the main exhibition halls, but pack a small notebook since the captivating marginalia will make you want to jot down details.
- Visit the small gift shop downstairs where surprisingly affordable facsimile prints of medieval maps and miniatures make excellent souvenirs.
