Life in the library
Farnese worksite: works on the Via del Mascherone side
The restoration of the facades and roofs of Palazzo Farnese is progressing: works on the Via del Mascherone side have begun. Noise disturbances are to be expected, as well as the unavailability of certain collections until June 2023.
Call numbers located in the Galerie du Chiffre (normally available on request) and in the Study Gallery, on the Via del Mascherone side, are unavailable. A selection of volumes has been moved to allow consultation.
See the list of call numbers concerned and the plan of temporary locations.
We remind you that it is forbidden to eat and drink inside the Library. The terrace is at your disposal.
Photos are submitted to authorization.
A brand new bouquet of journals on social sciences is now available between our electronic ressources on Torrossa plateform, accessible through our catalogue. See the list.
