Lonely Planet review for Bayerische Staatsbibliothek

A Gutenberg Bible, the original Carmina Burana and 1000-year-old prayer books are part of the amazing archive of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. Founded in 1558 by Duke Albrecht V, it's in another Gärtner building and brims with 9.1 million volumes, nearly 400,000 maps and subscriptions to over 42,000 periodicals. Yup, that would make it one of the largest in the German-speaking world. Check it out, if only for the free art exhibits.
