Explore a world of ideas and imagination in this one-of-a-kind exhibition showcasing the history of book design, production and illustration from the Middle Ages to today. World of the book celebrates the unique place books have in our hearts and minds. See rare medieval manuscripts and sacred texts, magnificent natural history and botanical illustration, stunning modern artist books and fine press editions, as well as pioneering Australian classics, children's books, graphic novels and comics.

From books that break the mould to books that changed the world, World of the book celebrates the unique place books have in our hearts and minds.

Don't forget to pick up your Young explorers' trail booklet from the entrance to the exhibition so that children aged 5-12 can discover World of the book for themselves.
