Robert Allerton Art Library

The Robert Allerton Art Library at HoMA is an invaluable resource for the community. With more than 40,000 holdings, the library collects books and periodicals that focus on the artists, art, and art movements represented in HoMA’s encyclopedic collection. Integral to HoMA’s mission and vision, the library plays a vital role in edifying the quest for knowledge, understanding, and beauty that inspires museum goers.

This display is a complement to the exhibition Miyabi: Renaissance of Court Culture, on view through July 28. 

Since 2023, the library has hosted Marginalia, a display series of exhibition-related objects from HoMA’s collection.
