exhibition
This exhibition is a true journey through time, providing a detailed look at Luxembourg's 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, ranging from monastic and ecclesiastical collections to 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 like Jean-Baptiste Halle (1748-1824) and Dominique-Constantin Munchen (1763-1818), whose efforts have marked the country's documentary history.
A special focus is given to printed books, often overshadowed by manuscripts, perceived as more spectacular. In this context, various aspects of the material object are highlighted: the authors, the subjects covered, the dedicatees, the social groups consulting it, traces of use, or the provenances. These data testify to the value and usage of these precious books.
