Love of the Book

House of the Book is the museum that celebrates the love of the book. Who doesn't love books? This oldest book museum in the world offers visitors the chance to see medieval manuscripts with hand-painted miniatures on parchment. Century-old printed books in beautiful leather bindings and extraordinary modern books created by artists. Books don't always have to be beautiful. The content is also important. That is why the museum also creates exhibitions about the role of books in major social changes and how they have influenced us. Are you curious about the creators of books? Take a workshop and learn about letters, paper, illustrations and book bindings. All this can be seen and done in the house where collector Baron Willem Hendrik van Westreenen van Tiellandt lived in the 19th century amid his precious books.
