Book night in September

Each evening, colorful manuscripts, first editions, or curiosities from the bookshelves are brought out on the theme of the evening, and the stories that connect them are told in a relaxed, unconventional way. Afterward, there is time for what is usually not possible in a museum: to leaf through, touch, discover, ask questions, and discuss. A treat for book lovers!
