Rental of rooms

We offer opportunities for holding events in a historical atmosphere. For more information and specific offer, our staff can be reached at kabinet@lib.elte.hu

Ceremonial Hall (Reading Hall)

The current building of the University Library and Archives of the Eötvös Loránd University, built between 1873 and 1876 according to the plans of Antal Skalnitzky, is decorated with frescoes by Károly Lotz. The Mór Than painting depicting Joseph I occupies a worthy place in the 280 m² room, 15 m high, where natural light flows in through the glass roof. The representative monumental venue, which can accommodate 80-100 people, provides the opportunity to hold events, conferences, lectures, book presentations, festive events, and press conferences.

Reading Rooms

Our smaller reading rooms, the Reference Room, which can accommodate 20-30 people, the Literary Room, which can accommodate up to 14 people, and the circular Journal Reading Room and Public Space can be the venue for smaller and larger trainings and partner meetings.
