点评:This was a very worthwhile library to visit that surprised us. Located within a few minutes walk from Dublin Castle it was easy to reach but wasn't very crowded at all.
In front of the library was an expansive lawn and garden with lots of seating areas to relax. Inside the museum was a small gift shop, cafe and two floors of exhibits. Admission was free.
A video played on the ground floor that was a very good introduction to Chester Beatty, formerly from the US, and how his collection grew and his eventual donation of it to Ireland. Lockers were required to be used for any backpacks or large bags. Just remember your selected combination.
Our favorite was the Art of the Books with many richly detailed examples on display in particular those from the Middle East. The calligraphy was amazing.
The second floor contained books and other artifacts under the Sacred Traditions gallery.
His collection was so varied and represented historical ages from around the world. Quite impressive and a gem to visit.
翻译:这个图书馆非常值得参观,甚至让我们感到惊喜。它距离都柏林城堡步行几分钟即可到达,交通便利,但人潮却不多。
图书馆前有一片宽阔的草坪和花园,设有许多休息区供您休息。馆内设有一家小礼品店、一家咖啡馆和两层楼的展厅。免费入场。
一楼播放了一段视频,很好地介绍了切斯特·贝蒂(Chester Beatty,原籍美国)的藏书如何不断增长,以及他最终将这些藏书捐赠给爱尔兰的过程。背包或大包必须使用储物柜。记住您选择的储物柜组合即可。
我们最喜欢的是“书籍艺术”展区,其中展出了许多细节丰富的书籍,尤其是来自中东的书籍。书法作品令人叹为观止。
二楼的“神圣传统”展厅展出了书籍和其他文物。
他的藏品种类繁多,涵盖了世界各地的各个历史时期。令人印象深刻,是值得参观的瑰宝。
