About Newberry Library

Founded in 1887, the Newberry Library is one of Chicago's most iconic cultural institutions. Our collections, programs, and exhibitions are a portal to more than six centuries of human history, from the 15th century to the present. This history lives on at the Newberry, where you can access some 1.6 million books, 600,000 maps, and 5 million manuscript pages documenting life in Europe and the Americas. A small fraction of these treasures appear in the Newberry's exhibition galleries. We can help you discover the rest in our reading rooms, program spaces, and classrooms. **No tickets or reservations are required to visit galleries or reading rooms. **Hours are reading room hours. Visit website for exhibition and bookshop hours.
