[🇨🇭St. Gallen] Interact with medieval books in the monastery library exhibition room

In the exhibition space in the monastery library of St. Gallen, valuable books and manuscripts handed down from the Middle Ages are open to the public. The handwritten Latin manuscripts and illuminated manuscripts housed in glass cases are all in good condition and their beautiful bindings are eye-catching. Some of the exhibits can be viewed digitally using touch panels, so even if you don't understand the language, you can enjoy the structure and visuals. In addition to old books, the museum also introduces the bookbinding tools and paper materials of the time, allowing you to learn how books were made. The exhibition room, where you can lose track of time and gaze into the view, has a quiet and calm atmosphere. It was the perfect space to immerse yourself in the wisdom and beauty of the Middle Ages. #Spring0YenTrip
