One of the smallest books in the world is exhibited at the Ege University Paper and Book Art Museum operating under Ege University in Turkey.
Medianews.az reports with reference to Turkey's "İlhas" news agency that the museum, established in 2012, attracts attention with its rich collection related to paper and book art.
One of the most interesting exhibits for visitors in the museum is a miniature book, hand-printed on silk paper, measuring only 2.4 x 2.9 millimeters.
Located in the Ballian mansion dating back to the 19th century, the museum presents sections about the process from paper production to its transformation into artwork, book art, printing technology, and miniature books.
The collection also includes samples of various colored papers from the 15th century to the present, ex-libris works, and contemporary paper art pieces. Additionally, the museum exhibits three-dimensional books by Andy Warhol, as well as special editions of famous works such as "The Little Prince," "Moby Dick," and "Alice in Wonderland."
According to the museum management, not only exhibitions but also seminars, master classes, and training programs are held here. The aim is especially to increase interest in book and paper art among children and youth.
