Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria Overview
Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a recreation of the ancient library of Alexandria, located on the harbour of the Mediterranean sea in Alexandria, Egypt. The modern library and culture centre includes several libraries and a reading room. Its state-of-the-art tilted sun disk-shaped design is a modern architectural marvel.
Several museums, such as the antique museum, manuscript museum, science museum, and more, are located within the centre, along with rotating contemporary art exhibitions, a permanent Egyptian folk art collection, and a Planetarium. The unique libraries do not just exhibit books but also maps, multimedia, and historical manuscripts. Bibliotheca Alexandrina is an attempted restoration of the once magnificent Library of Alexandria founded by Alexander the Great, which was destroyed in a fire by Julius Caesar. The revival process started in 1974, and the centre was inaugurated in 2002.
