Treasures of the Bavarian State Library in 3D

Masterpieces of the Bavarian State Library in 3D: The Bavarian Regional Library Online (BLO) proudly presents 14 extraordinary specimens from the collections of the Bavarian State Library, including works enlisted in the UNESCO Memory of the World register. All manuscripts and rare books can be viewed not only as two-dimensional images, but also in a new threedimensional way. Software solutions developed in cooperation between the Munich Digitzation Center (MDZ), the Bavarian State Library (BSB) and the Microbox GmbH allow the digital recreation of books in rare detail, thus trying to copy the physical experience of reading in virtual space.

LZA If you are interested in visiting the Munich Digitization Center please arrange an appointment first by calling +49-89-28638-2394 or sending a mail to mdz(a)bsb-meunchen.de. Meet us at Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek), Digital Library Department, Ludwigstraße 16, 80539 Munich/Germany.

Due to limited parking place for visitors we recommend the use of the local public transport system. If you arrive at the airport, take the suburban train (S-Bahn) to "Marienplatz", change to the northbound underground trains U3/U6 and get off at "Odeonsplatz" or "Universität". Visitors arriving by train at Munich Central Station ("Hauptbahnhof") should take the underground lines U4/U5 towards "Arabellapark" or "Neuperlach Süd" and drop out at "Odeonsplatz" station. From there it is just a three minutes walk northwards to our library building.
