library, 19th century construction
The Royal Library of Belgium (Dutch: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, French: Bibliothèque Royale) is one of the most important cultural institutions in Belgium. The library has a history that goes back to the age of the Dukes of Burgundy. In the second half of the 20th century, a new building was constructed on the Kunstberg (Mont des Arts in French) in downtown Brussels, near the Central Station. The library owns several collections of historical importance, like the famous Fétis archives. The library is the depository for all books ever published in Belgium or abroad by Belgian authors.
