The Nottebohm Room | Erfgoed Hendrik Conscience

The Nottebohm Room

As well as being used for book storage and as an exhibition space, the Nottebohm Room is also the place where some of the highlights of the collection are kept. Normally it is only open during tours, activities or other events. But during the summer of 2024 you can also discover the magic of this unique place on your own.
