Chester Beatty Library
Dublin, Ireland
Sir Alfred Chester Beatty, an American mining magnate and prolific collector of manuscripts, prints, icons and paintings left behind an incredible collection of human history when he died in 1968. Stand in awe over Egyptian papyrus texts, rare copies of the Qur’an, the Bible and an impressive selection of snuff bottles from Japan. Don’t miss the Chester Beatty papyri, which includes a 3rd-century Greek papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Luke.
