Library of Alexandria
The Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts.
The idea of a universal library in Alexandria may have been proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman living in Alexandria. The Library quickly acquired many papyrus scrolls but it is unknown precisely how many such scrolls were housed at any given time, but estimates range from 40,000 to 400,000 at its height.
