Abstract

In the Netherlands there are a number of subject-focused art libraries in museums that are particularly interesting because of their specialisations, even though they are quite small. This article describes four such libraries and the people who use them, their facilities and their place within the organisation. All are open to the general public, but in other ways they are quite different from one another.
