The John Rylands Library manchester

My husband and I visited the library this week and we absolutely loved it! At the entrance to the library, we asked about the Bible fragment, but were informed that due to pandemic regulations, it was not on display at the moment. However, Andrew who is working at the library, found us and showed us amazing books that blew us away! It was wonderful to see somebody who is so passionate about his job and the collection he has in the library. He was eager to share his knowledge with us and he truly made our visit to this wonderful place even nicer! Thank you, Andrew!

One of the most beautiful libraries I've ever seen. And I've seen quite a few. Added bonus of having all the books locked behind plexiglass... thus you have a built in excuse for not reading them. What more could you want?

This is a stunning library! Beautiful architecture and decor and a real step back in time. The exhibitions are very interesting and awesome to look at and I love the busts of old poets and writers. It is a beautiful place to visit! There are also some fun things to do for kids, and even some fancy dress (who doesn't love fancy dress?!).

Wow, what a place. The building is incredible in its architecture and contents, the library and exhibitions are stunning. The walls seem to ooze a sense of the interesting and important discoveries that no doubt have been made here. Very much worth a visit

A very beautiful and quiet place in such a busy city! A great combo of old and new architecture as well the beautiful collection of books!
