The Bodleian Libraries has been the academic heart of Oxford for 600 years. The central library for the University of Oxford, the Bodleian Libraries is home to over 13 million items, including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare’s first folio and the Gutenberg bible.
In the Bodleian’s reading rooms, generations of famous scholars have studied through the ages, amongst them monarchs, Nobel Prize winners, British Prime Ministers and writers including Oscar Wilde, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The ‘Bod’ is still a working library, with thousands of readers studying in the reading rooms every year.
A popular location for filming, the Bodleian has featured in some of the most well-known films of recent years. These include Harry Potter, The Favourite, Mary Queen of Scots and Saltburn.
