Om

Raske fakta: 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.

Høydepunkter: 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.

Insidertips

  • 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.

Vår #1 reisetips

Har du hørt om gratis guidede turer?

Etter å ha reist til over 30 land, er det én ting jeg skulle ønske noen hadde fortalt meg fra dag én, og det endret helt hvordan jeg opplever nye byer.

Gratis guidede turer. Ja, faktisk gratis. Ingen kredittkort nødvendig. Ingen skjulte kostnader.

Lokal guide, 2-3 timer

Hovedattraksjoner, skjulte perler, lokale historier

100% tipsbasert

Guider tjener kun tips, så de gir sitt absolutt beste

Du gir tips etter hva som føles riktig

På slutten gir du bare tips etter hva du synes er riktig

Jeg har gjort dette i dusinvis av byer, og det har vært høydepunktet på nesten hver tur. Hvis du besøker Dublin, Ireland, gjør dette på din første dag. Du vil takke meg senere.
