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).

Great location but the only issue in Summer, I was mid-July : No air-conditioner... or at least, powered really low so you cannot notice. I got the feeling it was worst inside than outside the place. Maybe that was one of the reason it wasn't that crowded.

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.

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.

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!
