La Chester Beatty Library é un luogo incantevole. All'interno potete trovare una raccolta di manoscritti e libri a stampa da tutto il mondo, alcuni superbi. L'edificio ha subito un restauro pregevole che crea spazi conviviali e accoglienti. L'ingresso è gratuito. All'esterno un cortile dove è possibile bere e mangiare qualcosa con la vista su un bel giardino curato. Assolutamente da non perdere!

Incredible gem for beautiful old art. The art was beyond expectation, with an emphasis on the (Middle) East.
