As the central academic library of the Republic of Austria, the Austrian National Library regards itself as a service-oriented information centre, as an outstanding national memory institution and as a multi-faceted centre of education and culture. The Austrian National Library offers its users access and professional advice on its own holdings (over 12.5 million objects) and also on international data pools.
The exhibition “Divine and eaten. The ambivalent relationship between humans and animals in the land on the Nile” in the Papyrus Museum of the Austrian National Library tells of divine beings, feared creatures and the everyday coexistence of humans and animals using documents on papyrus, paper and parchment dating back hundreds or even thousands of years.
