The Schøyen Collection
Picture,  for a moment, every notable piece of written history known to man -- say, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Hammurabi's Code, Sumerian pictographs, Indus Valley scripts, early Buddhist writings, and the first star charts, to name a few. Now imagine 5,000 years worth of epic sagas and colorful artifacts collected in a single repository. Would that capture your imagination? That's exactly what you'll find in the Schoyen Collection -- a private treasure trove of mankind's recorded history. Located in Oslo, Norway, and London, England, this incredible collection includes over 12,500 carefully indexed and referenced items, making it a breeze to research. The amount of eye candy alone is staggering. The checklist of manuscripts is a taxonomic godsend, and the entire collection is cataloged in a variety of intuitive ways. Even in this age of technology, man's love for paper is an illuminating experience. (in Literature) |
