Corty Galerie, Book museum at Saxon State Library in Dresden, Germany
The SLUB Dresden contains an extensive collection of books, manuscripts, and media items spread across multiple floors of a modern architectural building.
The book collection originated from a 16th-century royal collection and opened to the public as a state library in 1788, marking a shift in accessibility.
The museum houses the Dresden Codex, a significant pre-Columbian Maya manuscript acquired in 1739 and later identified as a Maya text in 1853.
Located at 18 Zellescher Weg, the museum provides digital resources, regular exhibitions, and educational programs for researchers and general visitors.
The collections include over 17 million media items, positioning SLUB Dresden among the four largest libraries in Germany with legal deposit status.
