This exhibition focuses on the working method of artists in the Middle Ages (about A.D. 500–1500), when books were written and copied by hand. Visitors can explore medieval books from the Museum's collection and enjoy hands-on copying activities at a scriptorium table. Among the objects are several works by Flemish artists.
