Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Um único colecionador reuniu uma biblioteca extraordinária de manuscritos, miniaturas e livros raros impressos da Ásia, Europa e Oriente Médio. Você encontrará itens que vão desde pequenas pinturas persas do século XVII até Qur'ans iluminados intricadamente e Bíblias medievais.
Destaques: O colecionador Sir Alfred Chester Beatty acumulou mais de 20.000 objetos, e as galerias usam iluminação âmbar baixa e vitrines revestidas de veludo para fazer a folha de ouro e pigmentos brilharem. Uma exposição rotativa coloca um Salterio do século XIII ao lado de um pergaminho japonês do século XVII, criando conversas interculturais surpreendentes de perto.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
