About this Event
The Christian Bible is the best-selling book of all time (it even holds a Guiness World Record!), so it is no surprise that Bibles have been illustrated in many different ways over the centuries. This tour will feature a selection of illustrated Bibles to explore changing perceptions of visual art and religion, artistic style, and illustrative processes.
Held in the CLA’s historic reading room at 14 Beacon Street, these monthly collection tours connect residents of Beacon Hill and the greater Boston region with original, rarely seen materials in the CLA’s collections.
This event will run from 12 to 1 pm and will begin with a short talk by Meaghan Wright, followed by plenty of time for browsing items from our collections and asking questions.
Thanks to the generosity of the Beacon Hill Civic Association, these programs are offered completely free of charge to the public. Reservations are appreciated but not required.
