From Thursday 1 February we welcome you back in our building in Bagattenstraat 174. After an intensive renovation period that lasted two years, we open the building step by step, starting with the reading room. From then on, the collection can be consulted in-house, in a brand-new reading room.

The reopening of the building will be celebrated with the necessary attention. More news will follow soon, so keep an eye on us.

You will find all information about the operation of the reading room here.
