Welcome to the Oriental Institute Virtual Exhibit, an extension of the '100 Years of OI Virtual Exhibit' that shares the story of how the institute grew and its special connection with the Oriental world and Czech Republic. This part lets you explore the diverse treasures found in the Oriental Institute Library, with a focus on rare books. You'll also discover a section dedicated to the works of notable Oriental scholars. These scholars have greatly helped us understand the East, and their contributions are celebrated here. Additionally, we invite you to explore the 'legacy libraries' section, where we honor the orientalist scholars who generously shared their vast collections. These collections reflect their deep passion for learning about the East.
