Miniature Books: From Sumerian Clay Tablets to the Bible on a Chip

The exhibition shows the historical development of miniature books, from Sumerian clay tablets dating from around 2400 BC to the Bible on a chip measuring five by five millimetres. It brings together 1,300 different miniature books from 52 countries printed from the 17th century to the present day.

Apart from presenting the skills of masters of printing, illuminators, and miniature book designers such as Karolý Andrusko, who alone created 220 miniature books decorated with woodcuts and linocuts, the exhibition presents publishers engaged in miniature book publishing.
