The exhibition presents 100 unique objects from the rich collections of the Gennadius Library—books, manuscripts, works of art, maps, costumes, and rare archival materials—accompanied by photographs and video projections. These items reveal the richness and diversity of the collections that have shaped the identity of the Library for a century.

Each object tells a small yet significant part of the story of the Gennadius Library, from its beginnings to the present day, with a view toward the future. The objective is to bring to life the collections, the spaces, and the people who shaped the Library: directors, librarians, collectors, donors, and researchers.

Beyond the value of the objects themselves, the exhibition also highlights the journey of knowledge they carry, through the personal reflections and testimonies of researchers and fellows inspired by its collections.
