Om
Raske fakta: En enkelt samler samlet et ekstraordinært bibliotek med manuskripter, miniatyrer og sjeldne trykte bøker fra Asia, Europa og Midtøsten. Du finner gjenstander som spenner fra lommeparstørrelse persiske malerier fra 1600-tallet til intrikat illuminerte koraner og middelalderske bibler.
Høydepunkter: Samleren Sir Alfred Chester Beatty samlet over 20 000 objekter, og galleriene bruker dempet ravlys og fløyelsforede utstillingsskap for å få gullblad og pigmenter til å gløde. En roterende utstilling plasserer en salmebok fra 1200-tallet ved siden av en japansk rulletekst fra 1600-tallet og skaper overraskende tverrkulturelle samtaler på nært hold.
Insidertips
- Wear soft-soled shoes, the galleries are compact and best explored on foot.
- Ask front-of-house about the rotating 'treasures' case where rarely displayed items are brought out for closer viewing.
- Follow posted photography rules, using no flash to protect delicate pigments and gold leaf.
- If short on time, skip the largest rooms and focus on the small calligraphy cases upstairs for intimate details.
