Save the date: Rare Books & Christmas Markets: A Special MCAA Afternoon in Basel

Have you ever had the opportunity to see a manuscript that is hundreds of years old, or discover how knowledge was preserved and shared long before modern printing?

The MCAA Swiss Chapter invites its members to a special visit to Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books, an internationally renowned specialist in medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, rare books, and historical works.

This exclusive visit will offer an opportunity to discover remarkable examples of bookmaking, art, and the history of knowledge. As the gallery is not generally open for casual public visits, this is a unique experience specially arranged for our members.

And the afternoon doesn't end there! 🎄

After the visit, we will head together to the Basel Christmas Market to enjoy the festive atmosphere, reconnect with fellow MCAA members, and celebrate the end of the year.

The event is open to all MCAA members, regardless of their research discipline or career stage.

Save the date! Registration details and further information will follow.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Basel!
