The Cuypers Library
The Cuypers Library is the largest and oldest art history library in the Netherlands. During your museum visit, you can view the library from the balcony (in room 2.16). You do not need a reservation for this.
In the library you can also study the Rijksmuseum's collections. For this you do need an appointment. Read more about doing research in the library here.
