Museums, Anyone?

Chester Beatty Library in Dublin - free and has some of the oldest Bible manuscripts in the world. Many second century texts and part of the Ryland Papyrus.

Ancient Bibles - amazing.

 

Dr. Bob,

The Lincoln Museum is the largest PRIVATE museum dealing with Lincoln times and memorabilia. It is owned and operated by Lincoln Financial, some big insurance company in that part of Indiana. The founders liked Lincoln and thought the name would convey the thrift and honesty they intended their customers to think of them for. I don't know exactly how much authentic Lincoln artifacts they have, the major part of the museum is more about show what times were like during his and his wife's lifetimes. There is also a small research center there for scholars as well as the obligatory giftshop. Entrance fee is nominal and they do have some changing exibits from time to time.

That's okay - they'll let you stay, then we can walk down the street to the Trinity College "Long Hall" library -



but before we go upstairs to that we can see the 9th century Book of Kells
