The Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library is located at the Hendrik Conscience square in Antwerp. (Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library | Erfgoed Hendrik Conscience (consciencebibliotheek.be)

​
Within the library, the Nottebohm Room is a hidden gem. There is a magical feeling about this historic library space. From the moment you walk into this library, the quietness of the room is filled with the noise of the creaky parquet floor.
The room's wooden bookshelves are filled with a collection of 120000 rare historical  books and manuscripts. The library holds an important collection of early printed books, a collection that has grown over the course of 5 centuries.

The Nottebohm room has served as a showroom since 1936 and is now open to the general public from 22nd April until the 10th September.

The 17th Century in which the Nottebohm room is located in was originally used as a meeting and prayer room for religious brotherhoods.
In those days, the interior was decorated with beautiful baroque paintings by Rubens and Van Dyck.
