library include papyri, manuscripts, ancient and rare books, maps,
globes, portraits, music, photographs and graphics. The Grand Hall
is a palatial room topped by a dome, designed in the Baroque style,
and is decorated with statues and exquisite frescoes and is
regarded as one of the most beautiful library rooms in the
