In 1886, the museum acquired the entire book collection of Heinrich Klemm [de], which he had sold to the Kingdom of Saxony the year before.[3] A rare copy of a 42-line Gutenberg Bible printed on vellum was among the books in the collection.[4] At the end of World War II, the Bible was taken as war booty and transferred to the Russian State Library in Moscow, where it remains today.[5]
