Build your own antiquarian Library ... Gutenberg would be proud of you!

Glide with your mouse over the image of the beautiful Abbey Library of Admont and be inspired to start building your own miniature library. You want to see our picture in big? No problem at all ... with a double-click in the image your wish will be fulfilled. Voilà!

PS: Of course, Gutenberg is not the name of the dog.
Although, that actually it would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, our cute dog is a single piece from the collection of Klaus and Brigitte Reiser and therefore not available in our program ... But, our cute professor, he would be delighted if you would invite him into your antiquarian library.

Small and intricate detail:

The largest monastic library anywhere in the world, build in Admont, Austria, was completed in 1776, during the Age of Enlightenment. Its architect, Josef Hueber, covered it with seven cupolas and provided 48 windows to ensure an adequate supply of light. The seven ceiling frescoes are the work of Bartholomeo Altomonte. On the shelves of the three room sections below are some 70,000 volumes.
