About
The House of the Book, formerly called Museum Meermanno and Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum, is a book museum in The Hague, Netherlands. It is the oldest book museum in the world, and houses a collection of books but also sculpture, etchings and paintings. Books from many different periods are collected, but it's particularly strong in medieval manuscripts. The museum is based in an 18th- century townhouse that maintains many of its period furnishings and collectibles.
