General and popular books on Antiquity can be found in the Information Centre. The museum also has a scientific library of about 25,000 titles.
This library is open from Tuesday through Friday between 12 and 4 PM. Books can not be loaned out, but the library offers some workspots for consulting the collection. Visitors should apply to the museum's office building at Papengracht 30. Preferably visits should be announced beforehand. Visitors will be asked to show a valid identity card.
In the library you can consult a catalogue of the entire library collection. An online digital catalogue will follow shortly.
The re-opening of the scientific library of the museum was made possible by the kind cooperation of the volunteers of RoMeO, the association of friends of the museum.
