- Exhibition
- HMML presents an overview of interesting bindings for books, from various cultures, dating from the 15th to the 20th centuries. Included are books that have the same interior contents but radically different exteriors, as well as artists' books, an unbound 18th-century book ("in sheets"), and parchment fragments used in book bindings. Sometimes, one can "judge" the individuality of a book by its cover!
