The Re-Centre
The Re-Centre is a space where research, meeting, inspiration, cooperation and exchanging knowledge are central. Drawing around 3000 (inter)national researchers per year, it is pre-eminently a place for the generation of new knowledge. You can consult archive documents and read books and magazines about art, architecture, urban planning and design. In addition, there are often small thematic exhibitions featuring items from the (library) collection. You are welcome to meet, catch up and work together.
Opening hours
The Re-Centre is open to the public during museum opening hours. You can visit The Re-Centre to work, read the books and journals on open display or view the small exhibitions.
Would you like to consult archive material, order books from the depot or speak to a member of staff? Then come and see us Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm. For consulting archives we ask you to reserve a place in advance.
