The Library of Alexandria is the most amazing library of antiquity. Traditionally, it is considered to be the largest collection of works by such great thinkers and writers of antiquity as Homer, Plato, Socrates, as well as many others. The books were written on papyri. The library burned down 2,000 years ago in a fire, and its collection is irretrievably lost. How were these records stored? What did the library fund look like in those days? How did it begin its existence? Who created it? What kind of library was it? How did she appear and what is her fate?

The answers to these questions are waiting for the guests at an interesting event dedicated to this ancient library.
