Carolina Rediviva
The University library; and an enormous one at that, with over 5 million volumes. The upper floors are accessible via an elevator and will provide you with a great view of Uppsala. The library has a gift shop and a museum department which exhibits prized examples, including original prints of milestone scientific achievements, such as Newton's Principia, Darwin's Origin of Species, and Linnaeus' Systema Naturae; the fantastic 16th century map Carta Marina; and the famed 6th century Silver Bible (Codex argenteus) – the best-preserved text written in the extinct Gothic language, named a UNESCO Memory of the World in 2011.
