Library
The library’s collection of more than 400,000 volumes of art history, theory, architecture, and criticism focuses on Western art since the Middle Ages. The rare books collection is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers.
For the well-being of our visitors and staff, the library and its image collections, the print and drawing study rooms, the photograph study room, curatorial records, and Gallery Archives are temporarily closed to the public. We will gladly respond to research inquiries by email, telephone, and regular mail. Please consult the individual departments' pages for contact information.
