The Bodleian Library, founded in 1602, is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. Its buildings around Radcliffe Square include the 15th-century Divinity School, the medieval Duke Humfrey’s Library and the domed Radcliffe Camera. Guided tours take visitors inside some of the historic rooms, and the Weston Library across Broad Street has exhibitions and a café.
