COLLECTIONS

What a thousand years gathered

Three collections hold the written and material memory of the hill — a library, a museum and an archive.

The oval hall of the abbey library
LIBRARY

Archabbey Library

The building went up in the 1820s to Ferenc Engel's design, with the oval hall the work of János Packh. The idea it embodies is fifteen centuries old: St Benedict gave reading such a place in monastic life that the monks' work preserved the writings of Greece and Rome for us as well.

Visitors at the Night of Museums
MUSEUM

Archabbey Museum

Home to the abbey's material heritage and its temporary exhibitions, with special programmes on the Night of Museums and the major feasts.

An old charter from the archive's holdings
ARCHIVE

Archabbey Archive

The written memory of the monastery, from the founding charter to the present day — open to researchers by prior arrangement.

ARCUS CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

Culture connects

Without friends who love music and art, Arcus Temporum would not be what it is: three days of concerts — classical and contemporary — with art and literature alongside them, in the spaces of the thousand-year-old Archabbey. Members of the Circle get four things:

01

Contact

A quarterly newsletter with the festival's latest news and the programme as it takes shape.

02

Conversation

One meeting a year with the festival's artistic directors, in person.

03

First refusal

Tickets open to members a week before they go on public sale.
