Library

The Hungarian National Gallery, established in 1957, uses the library that once belonged to the Metropolitan Picture Gallery, as its museum library. The holdings were later expanded with legacies of books left behind by some outstanding art historians (Dénes Radocsay, Gyula Szentiványi, István Genthon, and Gábor Pogány Ö.). The museum library’s volumes have also been augmented in recent years through purchases, domestic and international exchanges as well as donations.

In accordance with the museum’s scope of collection, the library’s holdings primarily comprise publications on Hungarian art, painting, sculpture and architecture along with those on the theme of museum science. Hungarian exhibition catalogues, including some true rarities, are the strength of the collection.

The use of the library by the public is restricted. Advance registration is required for external users and the books can only be read in the library. Inter-library loaning is also available.
