Library of Alexandria

If I could visit a library from the past I would like to go the Library of Alexandria.
It was considered to be one of the world's first study centres and was an important place of learning in the Ancient World.
Ptolemy 1 and many of his successors supported scholars and the notion of learning for the sake of learning.
Manuscripts were not just stored they were used for reference and research for new scholars and priceless books were copied by local scribes and traded for other books from the Ancient World.

What a wonderful place to visit!
