Traveler reviews
Henry Mowry
★★★★★2 weeks agoStunning library. At the time of our visit, there was an exhibition on book binding, which, to a book fan, was AMAZING. To someone not interested in reading (which would be a shame), it is still quite fascinating for the artwork of the bindings alone. Tickets for us were 8 euros apiece. They have lockers to store large bags and drinks. They also have self guided audio tours in French, English, German, and (I think) Dutch.

★★★★★2 years agoBeautiful space filled with history! The books, their smell and the mood is amazing. It was world heritage day today so entrance was free. Wonderful!
