Library Exhibition: Our Beautiful Earth
Our Beautiful Earth: a special exhibition in the Cathedral Library illustrating the creation story
Come and enjoy the wonders of the natural world as revealed in some of the thousands of books and documents from Salisbury Cathedral’s library and archive collections. This special mini exhibition is based on the creation story in the Bible, when God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days. Highlights include a medieval manuscript Bible, a sixteenth-century illustrated botanical book, and a star atlas. You can also read about the Great Comet of 1472 and the story of the Cathedral’s own pair of eagles in 1670.
