Library

Our extensive library collection is used by our staffers but is also open to anyone else with a keen interest in sculpture. Over 50,000 publications provide an overview of sculpture from Rodin to the present.

The library of the Middelheim Museum focuses not only on information about the museum collection, but also about modern and contemporary sculpture in general and art in public space.

The library primarily provides support for the museum’s activities by sharing information to the museum’s scientific staff and museum guides. It is also open to researchers, students, teachers and anyone who is interested in modern and contemporary sculpture.
