Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewSchön still, tolles Gebäude, große Auswahl und verschiedene Programme (auch für Kleinkinder!). Definitiv einen Besuch wert.
Some of the rooms on the fourth floor of the library are truly beautiful, but it does feel a bit intrusive to be touring while others are trying to read or study. That said, it's still worth a quick visit to appreciate the architectural style — you can finish exploring in about half an hour.
Amazing place. The art, design and architecture is priceless.
