This exhibition is a true journey through time, providing a detailed overview of Luxembourgish libraries from the 16th to the 19th century. It explores documentary history from a new perspective, through masterpieces from the special collections of the National Library of Luxembourg.
The exhibition highlights the diversity of historical libraries, from monastic and ecclesiastical collections to the private libraries of figures such as Pierre Roberti (circa 1566–1636) or Pierre-Ernest de Mansfeld (1517–1604). The tour also emphasizes the influence of notable personalities such as Jean-Baptiste Halle (1748–1824) and Dominique-Constantin Munchen (1763–1818), whose efforts have shaped the country's documentary history.
Particular attention is paid to printed books, often overshadowed by manuscripts, which are seen as more spectacular. In this context, various aspects related to the material object are highlighted: the authors, the topics covered, the dedicatees, the social groups that read them, the traces of use or the provenances. This information underscores the value and significance of these precious books.
