In this fascinating look at the more than two-century-old institution--the largest library in the world--MODERN MARVELS® takes a rare, behind-the-scenes tour of the Library's vast collections. Here, upwards of 745 miles of shelves hold close to 145 million items, many of them invaluable treasures from George Washington's hand-written diaries and personal copy of the Constitution to historic drafts of the Declaration of Independence to Galileos first images of the moon. Featuring rarely seen footage of the library's secret vaults and incisive expert interviews, THE REAL NATIONAL TREASURE is a must-see for any history fan.
