Now it looks like, those interested in the book will get two more months. “We negotiate pro-longing of the exhibition. The Swedish site have already agreed, but we need more guarantee. The request is now at the Ministry of finance.” Said the speaker of the National Library.

Even when there is only 10 minutes one can dedicate to checking it through, there is really high visit rate. This weekend, the Codex was seen by 35 000 People, in Prague. The tickets must be reserved (online), though.

If the ministry will agree, it will stay in Klementinum until half of March.
