Biblioteca Civica d'Arte Luigi Poletti, Modena

Library specialized in art of any kind, from applied arts, to graphics, architecture, scenography, paintings and museums, both books, magazines and some DVDs. The entrance has a remarkable art deco fresco that deserves careful observation. The interior is sometimes used for small free exhibitions open to the public and there are brochures of the cultural activities of Modena and its province. Extremely helpful staff and well-made site to consult the catalog, upon registration with a library card.

Beautiful and full of rare volumes, especially of art and photography. The staff is also very nice and helpful!

Library open to the public. Wide availability of books dedicated to art and architecture. The large section dedicated to urban art is very interesting. Graffiti, Streetart, post-graffiti. A collection full of real pearls, from magazines to fanzines, from theoretical books to those produced by artists. A real peculiarity and singularity, perhaps throughout Italy. The library also organizes meetings and conferences with experts and artists. The space is also physically beautiful, comfortable and relaxing, even for those who want to spend some time to devote to study and study.

Beautiful library, not reserved for specialists but open to the public, with a considerable heritage of books and publications on art. Momentarily in restructuring
