Viel-Seitige Entdeckungen – die Bibliothek der Künste | Führung

In the organizer's words:

The Library of the Arts is one of the largest interdisciplinary specialist libraries on culture and the arts of modernism. It houses a collection of 650,000 volumes from all artistic disciplines and outstanding special collections, including exhibition catalogs up to the present day, on Expressionism, on exile during the National Socialist era, and on the literature and culture of the GDR.

With its extremely valuable 400 private libraries of writers, playwrights, composers and artists, it also invites you to discover extremely rare writings and elaborately designed artists' books. The library is open to all interested parties and the collections can be used free of charge.

Starting from the reading room on Pariser Platz with a magnificent view of the Brandenburg Gate, the tour takes you on a voyage of discovery to the library's treasures and also provides an insight into the hidden stacks.
