Amsterdam Public Library (OBA)

View:
  • Oosterdokskade 143
  • 1011 DL Amsterdam
    Opened in July 2007, The Amsterdam Public Library stands as a modern architectural gem on the Oosterdokseiland, just a five-minute walk east of Central Station.

    European leader
    The library is open 7 days a week and attracts in excess of 2.5 million visitors a year. It is not only the largest of Amsterdam's public libraries - at 28,000 m2, it's also the largest in Europe!

    Dynamic design
    The cutting-edge ecological design earned it the prize of 'Most Sustainable Public Building in Amsterdam'. The unique selection of seating allows you to take in amazing south-facing panoramic views.

    More than a library
    In addition to unique collections, the library boasts a theatre, a radio station, conference rooms, exhibition space, a music department, study pods, a readers café and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace overlooking the city.
