University Library
This exhibition presents ten great book collectors whose volumes have enriched the University Library's holdings from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. As well as placing on display some of the most splendid, distinctive and—in a few cases—unexpected items held in the Library, it traces the changing motives, fashions and tastes of book-collectors over the course four hundred years.
