Germany’s leading art library
The Kunstbibliothek is one of the largest museum libraries focusing on art history and cultural studies. It holds valuable collections on the history of architecture, photography, graphic design, fashion, book art and media art. It also holds more than a million objects in its museum collection, ranging from the Middle Ages to present day — notably a comprehensive photographic collection — and these objects regularly feature in special exhibitions. Rather than a single location, the Kunstbibliothek comprises a network of facilities whose holdings are found at three separate venues in Berlin. The library of art history and the museum collections are situated at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz. The Archaeological Library is accessible at the Archäologisches Zentrum, opposite the Museumsinsel Berlin, and the Kunstbibliothek presents its Collection of Photography at the Museum für Fotografie, opposite Berlin Zoologischer Garten station.
