The Reality and the Illusionary, the Book of Miracles—Thematic Document Exhibition on The Travels of Marco Polo

The annual exhibition of the Shanghai Library's East Building is located in the special exhibition hall on the first floor of the building. It displays more than 100 precious historical documents, and provides a comprehensive interpretation of this travelogue, which was published more than 700 years ago and was compiled by Marco Polo from his cellmates in prison in the 14th century. It includes four early 14th-century travelogue manuscripts loaned by collection institutions such as the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy, the earliest translated version to enter China, and related documentary materials such as discussions and research on the travelogue over the past hundreds of years. Several document collections are exhibited in China for the first time. A miniature version of the European scriptorium is specially set up in the exhibition hall, which restores the production process of European manuscripts in the 14th century, from the production of parchment to writing and binding. Through the exhibition, one can also see the cultural exchange and collision between China and the West. 📍Attraction address: No. 300 Yingchun Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai 🚗 Transportation: Take Metro Line 2, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station, Exit 3 👍️Must-see masterpieces: 14th century manuscript of Dante's "Divine Comedy"; original will of Marco Polo the Elder; 14th century early Venetian and Tuscan manuscripts of "The Travels of Marco Polo" (the manuscript closest to the original appearance of the travels) [Work] Special exhibition time: November 3, 2024 - February 28, 2025 (9:00-17:00) 🎟️Ticket information: Free and open to the public
