Collection services

Viewing the collections

If you wish to view the collections, we recommend arranging your visit beforehand. There may be limitations on the use of research materials due to, for example, their condition, for which reason some time must be allowed for preparing them for viewing.

Specialist and information services

Short information service questions not requiring extensive research will be answered free-of-charge. You can also send questions to us via the Ask the Museum online service.

Borrowing museum materials

If possible, we can lend objects from our collection to other professionally managed museums. The borrower will be responsible for the collection and return costs and for insuring the item.
The library also lends its published materials as remote loans (see the service description [link]).
