Miniature books


Every Monday one of the museum staff gives a talk on one of the items in the collection. The talk takes place in the library, yet another beautiful reading room. The day I was there, the talk was on miniature books, including what is supposedly the smallest book in the world.

Except for that book, which was encased in a kind of petri dish and not really visible without a microscope, we could actually touch and look through the books the librarian was discussing.
