Fairy tales point out how similar and inter-connected respective national traditions and cultures are and how they share common European cultural foundations. A selection of around one hundred most representative titles of European fairy tales from the BIBIANA Library collections is accompanied by exhibits of 25 fairy tale illustrations whose authors won awards at events organized by BIBIANA, including the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava, The Most Beautiful Books of Slovakia, the quarterly competition The Most Beautiful and Best Children’s Books in Slovakia, and the IBBY Honor List. The exhibition is a truly European one, through its theme and form, presenting visitors with books that were published in various European countries, many European languages and illustrated by artists from various countries. Children can test their knowledge in an interactive map of the EU. The exhibition takes place on the occasion of Slovakia’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
