Library - Deutsches Museum

The library is aimed at anyone interested in science, technology and their history. It is open to the public and no entrance fees are charged.

Find and order books

The library is a reference library. This means that all of the almost one million volumes in our collection are always available, including the 1700 current journals. However, a reference library also means that we do not offer home loans.
