A free exhibition of rare works sourced from the University of Melbourne and State Library Victoria collections, Albrecht Dürer’s Material Renaissance invites you to peer into Dürer and his contemporaries’ prints and books – objects in their own right – to explore how and why materiality mattered in early modern Europe.
With over 90 items from the University of Melbourne's Special Collections and the State Library Victoria, exhibits include Dürer’s Melencolia I engraving, a leaf from the Gutenberg Bible, and some of the most important books and prints of this period, including the famous 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle and Dürer’s own Treatise on Measurement.
