During the short period of time that The Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux was unbound to develop a facsimile edition, The Metropolitan Museum of Art had an unprecedented opportunity to show the entire book in sequence in the exhibition "Prayer Book for a Queen: The Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux." This feature explores the five primary divisions of this medieval prayer book.
