The exhibition "Shakespeare to Sherlock: Treasures of the British Library" opened to the public in Beijing on April 21.

The exhibition featured nine manuscripts and two early editions from 10 iconic British writers. Chinese translations and adaptations of classic British literature and related books were also showcased at the event.

Luo Shugang, minister of the Ministry of Culture, Xie Jinying, director-general of the Bureau for External Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Culture, Han Yongjin, director of the National Library of China, and officials from the British Library and the British Embassy in China attended the opening ceremony.
