One of the pearls of the collection is a volume of two works by Alexander Pushkin, which is about 60 times smaller than the size of a poppy grain. Some exhibits of books date back to the XVIII and XIX centuries. There are also books that have been in space. There are unique books of the XVI century, brought from Ethiopia. In the museum there is a mini book made of birch bark. In addition to books, here you can look at miniatures located on horse and human hair.
