Una maravilla de la cultura. Una sala de unos 20 metros de altura con las estanterías llenas de sabiduría en el entorno máximo de la cultura que es un museo como el Rijksmuseum. La simbología esotérica que la ornamenta, una escalera en espiral de unos 15 metros, los distintos niveles de pisos con estantes llenos, además de una colección de instrumentos para el conocimiento y de monedas de la historia y los lugares colonizados por los neerlandeses completan la breve visita que se puede hacer a esta biblioteca desde un gran balcón que hace volar la mente por siglos de Historia, Arte y Cultura.

It's a wonderful collection of books and it would be a great place to study, if only the museum would care a little bit more about students who actually come for the library and not about tourists who see it as merely another attraction. It's extremely annoying to try and study when there's tourists roaming around and the guard has to shush them every five minutes 'cause they're talking too loudly and sneakily taking pictures. The museum should really consider just not letting them in the library.

I came to the museum just for the library. Even though there is just one spot where is possible to see the beauty of the library, it was still worth it. The entrance fee is quite expensive but as a library lover, I was satisfied. The whole museum looks gorgeous but still, the library is my top one. Thank you …

One of the rooms that's on every book worm's bucket list. Pictures never do places like this justice, you should definitely see it for yourself. At least from our experience, the location was not as popular as other areas of the museum. So you have more personal space to enjoy being there without the crowds.

You can visit the library reading room from the museum. Only this room is open for visiting. The entrance to the library is passing through the science room on the first floor(1.13). The view from the upstairs is on the second floor from the coins and medals room(2.16 on the map).

Beautiful art library on several floors. It took me several attempts to find the entrance, it is a bit hidden! As a museum visitor you can only access a little balcony but if you have a card to borrow books you can use the reading room downstairs. Keep your voice low! …

Pięknie wygląda. Podczas zwiedzania muzeum mamy możliwość zobaczyć bibliotekę z wysokiej galerii na ostatnim piętrze. Można z niej korzystać prawdopodobnie po wcześniejszym umówieniu . Przypomina scenografię do filmu tak jest niesamowita. …
