La Societat Bibliogràfica Valenciana Jerònima Galés (SBVJG) and the Historical Library have organized an exhibition to express the devotion for books and culture. The exhibition will remain open from April 16 until July 14.

The aim of this exhibition is to show an overview of the trajectory of the bibliofilia and the main Valencian bibliophiles from the Renaissance to the present, and to propose a reflection on the meaning of love for books.

The materials of the exhibition, which are collected in the Historical Library and the Historical Archive of the Universitat de València, show us the history of the books over time, their different owners, the places where they have been collected, the business transactions that they have been through and even how they were saved in extremis from being burned or eaten by beehive mites.

The exhibition will remain open until July 14 and can be visited in the Duque de Calabria Room of the Historical Library.
