Kunstbibliothek, Berlin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While researching in Berlin I also visited the Kunstbibliothek; Berlin\u2019s Art Library, or, The Library of Art History. This library is located at number 6 Matth\u00e4ikirchplatz, which is situated opposite the SBB\u2019s Potsdamer branch. A number of art history libraries are housed within this building, including the Lipperheidesche Kost\u00fcmbibliothek (Lipperheide Costume Library), where a selection of extant sources for the 1821 Berlin performance of Spontini\u2019s Lalla Rookh<\/em> are housed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gaining admission to the Kunstbibliothek\/Lipperheidesche was very straightforward. You first need to register, and this can be completed onsite when you arrive. The registration office is located on the left next to the entrance. There is no registration fee but it is necessary to complete a form and to present your passport for identification purposes. You receive your library card immediately and this permits admission to all libraries within the Kunstbibliothek building. It is possible to order material through the online catalogue. Some items can be retrieved within 30 minutes, others will be retrieved the following day. I placed my order at about 4pm and the material was available to consult at 10am the following morning; this arrangement suited my research schedule.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with all libraries visited to date, bags and coats are not allowed in the reading rooms. There are no locker facilities at this library. Similar to the SBB\u2019s Unter den Linden and Potsdamer sites there is a cloakroom manned by a porter and this is where you store your belongings while in the reading room. You receive a token with a number for retrieving your belongings before leaving the library. There is also a caf\u00e9 onsite.<\/p>\n
