Library

The Erasmus Huis includes a large library with an extensive collection of around 20.000 titles, newspapers and magazines from both countries. Except for Dutch literature and lecture, you will find interesting books about the history of Indonesia and about Dutch and Indonesian art and culture.

The library also consists of an elaborate music-collection of around 950 CD's. For example Jazz is very well represented in the music-collection. You'll be able to find CD's from the ensembles of Paul van Kemenade, Piet Noorddijk, Maarten Ornstein and Maarten van der Grinten, but also from singers like Fay Claassen, Caroline de Rooy and Rita Reys. Except for Jazz, the music library offers choral music, music for violin and piano and also piano-solo music, all in abundance. The CD's of the Combattimento Consort Ensemble and the Florilegium Ensemble contain Old Music (from the Middle-ages until Mozart and his contemporaries). For this genre you can also look for the following composers: Bach, Händel, Vivaldi, De Fesch. Or the names of the performing artists: Brüggen and Koopman.

To put it briefly: Glance through the catalogue and discover a world of music! As member of the library, you can borrow the CD's for a deposit of Rp. 50.000,- per CD or it is also possible to listen to them in the library. Please ask the librarian for assistance if you are unable to trace a certain album.

In the library one can consult the internet, watch videos and dvd's with general information on the Netherlands, explore CD-ROM's and listen to music CD's from our large music collection.
