From 15 February to 23 June 2017 (extended until 29th september) the exhibition halls of Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, hosted "Tesori inesplorati. Le Biblioteche dell’Università di Firenze in mostra", an exhibit of the hidden treasures held by the University of Florence Libraries.
The bibliographic patrimony of the University counts over 3.8 million volumes, many of which are antique, rare or valuable items drawing scholars and researchers from all over the world. A wealth of riches awaiting to be discoovered that the University of Florence is adamant to present to the entire town.
The exhibition is divided into six thematic paths, linked to one another through an ideal dialogue: the human body and its care, natural sciences from the Middle Ages to the modern age; the origins of law; evolving technology; Florence, the Mediterranean and the East; the Twentieth Century.
