Library Opening Hours

The library is a reference library. It is open for consultation during office hours, from Tuesday to Friday, 9am-12pm and 2pm-5pm, and only on request.

 

Along with the museum, there is also a library at Villa dei Cedri. It collects books and archive materials on art from the 19th century to the present day and focuses in particular on the Ticino and Lombardy areas, while also embracing an international focus on contemporary art. In addition, the library aims to gather useful materials for research into the artistic environment and activities in the region. The collection also documents all the exhibitions and artists exhibited at Villa dei Cedri since its opening in 1985.

The library's holdings cover every discipline related to modern and contemporary art and range from museums to auctions, from the history of art in general to more specific fields such as graphic design and photography.
