Huis van het boek

The House of the Book (Dutch: Huis van het boek), formerly called Museum Meermanno and Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum, is a book museum in The Hague, Netherlands. It is the oldest book museum in the world, and houses a collection of books but also sculpture, etchings and paintings. Books from many d

ifferent periods are collected, but it's particularly strong in medieval manuscripts. The museum is based in an 18th- century townhouse (Dutch: Herenhuis) that maintains many of its period furnishings and collectibles.
