Firstly, they were held at the unique exhibition "Belarus and the Bible". Secondly, the researcher of ancient manuscripts from the USA, the director of the Manuscripts Research Group, Scott Carroll, met with the young "professors" and conducted an excursion around the exhibition in the Book Museum.

Participants have got a unique opportunity to unfold the ancient scroll and touch the parchment. The organizers of the exhibition are sure that it is important not only to listen and see in the museum, but to touch the exhibits too. Therefore, the original was specially choosed and prepared for educational classes. This activity with a scroll united the children and their parents.

At the exhibition "Belarus and the Bible" there is a creative zone where not only children but also adults take an active part. Participants of the "The Book Professors’ Club" could "swam" in the Noah’s ark and animals, wrote the manuscripts with the feathers, printed pages from the Bible of Francysk Skaryna, drew and made puzzles.
