Salon
Dear visitors,
Due to an event, the salon will be closed from Thursday, 18 September 2025 to Sunday, 21 September 2025. An alternative service will be available on Thursdays and Fridays in the library on the first floor. We look forward to welcoming you back to the salon on Tuesday, 23 September 2025. Thank you for your understanding!
The salon team
Read the newspaper in peace, take a lunch break with friends or colleagues, reflect on the exhibition visit or just relax. The room designed by chmara.rosinke/OFIS invites you to linger and is open to everyone – visitors and neighbors, clubs and colleagues. The stay is free of charge. Current daily newspapers and books from the library complement the room's furnishings. The time in the salon can be freely organized according to one's own wishes.
