U današnjem svetu one nisu samo važni stubovi kulture i obrazovanja već sve više podsećaju na muzeje. To potvrđuju i najlepše biblioteke Evrope, koje su obavezna stanica za hiljade svetskih putnika The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library, said Einstein long ago. And in today's world they are not only important pillars of culture and education, but rather increasingly reminiscent of museums. This is also confirmed by the most beautiful libraries in Europe, which are obligatory stops for thousands of world travellers LONDON Univerzitetska biblioteka u Oksfordu Svoja vrata otvorila je davne 1602. i jedna je od najstarijih biblioteka u Evropi. Osim što poseduje drugu najveću zbirku knjiga i rukopisa u zemlji, koja broji više od 13 miliona štampanih naslova, specifična je i po svojoj arhitekturi. Posetiocima su na raspolaganju stara biblioteka Bodleana, koja ima četiri istorijske sobe, Kuća saziva iz 17. veka, kao i impozantna biblioteka vojvode Humfreja, koja predstavlja pravo književno blago. Posetioci mogu da razgledaju, ali ne smeju da diraju knjige. Vredna dela: Šekspirov Prvi folio i Bakšali rukopis. PRAG Biblioteka Strahova Najstariji zapisi o biblioteci datiraju čak iz perioda osnivanja manastira 1140, koji je zajedno sa bibliotekom preživeo veliki broj katastrofa. Bio je uništen u požaru, ukradene su mnoge dragocene knjige, ali i uprkos tome, ima mnoge zapise nastale od 16. do 18. veka. Biblioteka je ušuškana na brdu kod Hradščana, sa kog se pruža prelep pogled na grad. Kad završite sa obilaskom, utiske možete sumirati u manastirskoj pivnici, u kojoj se proizvodi pivo po srednjovekovnoj recepturi. LONDON Oxford University It opened its doors way back in 1602 and is one of Europe’s oldest libraries. Apart from boasting the second largest collection of books and manuscripts in the country, numbering more than 13 million printed titles, it is also specific in terms of architectural appearance. Visitors can access the old Bodleian Library, which has four historic rooms, the 17th century Convocation House and the impressive reading room of Duke Humfrey’s Library, which represents a true literary treasure. Visitors can browse, but must not touch the books. Valuable works: Shakespeare’s First Folio and the Bakhshali Manuscript. PRAGUE Strahov Library The oldest records of this monastery library date back to the period in 1140 that saw the founding of Strahov Monastery, which - together with the library – has survived many disasters. It was destroyed in a fire and had many valuable books stolen, but despite that it still has a large number of records that emerged between the 16th and 18th centuries. The library is nestled on the hilltop of Hradčany, which offers beautiful views of the city. When you finish touring, you can summarise impressions in the monastery’s brewery pub, where beers are brewed according to medieval recipes.
