Our library in the museum

Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum is not just a museum.
It also has a very special library.
The entrance to this library is in the Türken-Straße.

Our museum has many history books on different topics:
• Applied arts
Applied arts want to make everyday objects beautiful.
• Design
Design determines how an object looks.
• and on the special areas of the museum
For example: glass, ceramics or posters.

The library has about 21,000 objects.
For example:
• Monographs
These are books about a single person or a single subject.
• Specialist books
• Catalogues
• Magazines

You can search online for specific objects.
Click on this link:

that is difficult to understand.

Our library is not open to the public.
This means that you cannot borrow anything from the library.
But you can make an appointment
to look at the objects in the library.
For example, to do research.
