---UPDATE 2022/01/05---



It's been exactly (more or less) one year since the release of this project. We'd like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm about the project! It ended up being positively graded by the professors and it was even tweeted by our university! We even had a few Belgian magazines reaching out to us :D. I love working on these types of projects. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to make more of these in the future! Cheers to all of you!



Ku Leuven University Library in Minecraft: the story



By Seb, Nils & Eva

Hello! We are three history students from the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium. For our class 'Public History' we received the assignment to present an original and entertaining public-historical product to the non-academic world. For our project, we decided to recreate Leuven's iconic university library in Minecraft. We also added a selection of digitalized historical works in the library that can be read on lecterns in the main reading room. That way, you can get a glimpse of some of the university's unique collection! In the main entrance hall, you'll also find a short history of the building. We'd like to thank KU Leuven Libraries for being allowed to use the Digital Heritage Collection for the project!



Happy exploring & thanks for checking it out!



In the Library you can find the following:

- main entrance hall;
- main staircase;
- main reading room;
- the two smaller reading rooms.
