Traveler reviews
Emmanuel Gustin
★★★★★3 years agoOf the 900 manuscripts in the library of the dukes of Burgundy, some 300 have survived. From the 14th and 15th century to this day. The exhibits of this amazing collection are very much worth seeing. You will need good eyesight (or good glasses) to see the amazing details. The surrounding exhibit on how and why manuscripts were made is well done but quite traditional.
Christian Muschick
★★★★★2 years agoBest museum on handwritten books with marvelous exhibits. Truely one of a kind. Also well designed for children, but they better can read already to have the full experience.
