Manuscripts & the Mind: A New Exhibition
A new exhibition, Manuscripts & the Mind: How we read & respond to the written word, has opened at the Chester Beatty, Dublin.
Manuscripts & the Mind explores the hidden language of books and encourages visitors to engage with the texts by looking beyond the words.
The exhibition teaches guests to see what’s often invisible, finding hidden layers of meaning within each manuscript.
Opening on 24 October 2025 until 1 March 2026, this exhibition invites visitors to explore the concealed features of manuscripts and become part of a live research project.
Curated in collaboration with the University of Glasgow and partners across six countries, the exhibition is part of the Paratexts Seeking Understanding project, funded by the Templeton Religion Trust.
It brings together manuscript scholars like the University of Glasgow’s Professor Garrick Allen, cognitive scientists and museum curators to explore how the design of books affects how we think, feel and learn.
