We encourage you to plan ahead of your visit. E-mail artref@nypl.org with your research questions or to have materials ready for pick-up in our Reading Room. Please note that portions of our collection may be temporarily unavailable and e-mailing us in advance will help you make the most of your visit.
Request for materials cannot be accepted beginning 30 minutes prior to closing.
The Art and Architecture Collection is the primary access point for readers and researchers using the Research Libraries’ materials which relate to the fine arts, decoration, art history, architectural history, design and theory. Contact us with your research questions at artref@nypl.org! In addition, you can follow us on Facebook, Flickr and Tumblr.
Collected primarily in English and Western European languages, the extensive collections include monographs, exhibition catalogs, auction records, periodicals, monographic series, ephemera, oeuvre and catalogues raisonnes.
The Art and Architecture Collection, located in Room 300, is accessible from the South Hall of the Main Reading Room on the third floor of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
