Huis van het boek, Book museum in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Huis van het Boek is a museum in The Hague dedicated to the history of the book. It displays medieval manuscripts, contemporary book designs, historical prints, and working workshops for traditional bookmaking.
A nobleman collected valuable books in the 19th century and donated them as the foundation of this institution. The collection grew over time and made this place an important archive for book culture.
The house shows how books preserved and shared knowledge and stories across centuries. Visitors see here how book production evolved from hand-written works to printed objects.
The museum is easy to reach and typically open on multiple days per week. It pays to allow enough time to explore the different exhibition rooms and workshops at a leisurely pace.
The collections include some of the earliest printed books from the time after the invention of the printing press, known as incunables. These valuable objects show how revolutionary the printing technique was for spreading knowledge.
