Chester Beatty Library
TIM E WHITE / ALAMY ©
8 Alfred Chester Beatty was a mining magnate with exceedingly good taste, and the fruit
of his aesthetic sensibility is gathered in this remarkable museum. Books, manuscripts and
scrolls were his particular love, and his collection includes one of the world's best gather-
ing of Qu'rans, the finest collection of Chinese jade books in existence, and some of the
earliest biblical parchments ever found. The remainder of the collection is fleshed out with
tablets, paintings, furniture and other beautiful objets d'art.
