Why go

The façade and square make a worthwhile short architectural stop at any time. For the atmospheric Nottebohm Room, book a guided tour or choose a listed exhibition, lecture or concert; individual summer access ended on 30 August 2026. The reading room serves collection users and should not be treated as an untimed sightseeing visit.
