Destocking at the Archives of the City of Brussels (June 2 and 4 2023)

Are you passionate about Brussels, its history and heritage? Do you want to expand your library? The Archives, the Museums and the Culture Department of the City of Brussels organize a destocking of recent and old books.

See you on June 2 and 4 2023 at the Archives of the City of Brussels!

The Archives, the Museums and the Culture Department of the City of Brussels have just completed their grand Spring cleaning. From then on, they put on sale many publications on the history of Brussels… You will find on sale their own editions, as well as many books from the libraries of the Archives and Museums preserved in duplicate, old exhibition catalogues, a few books unrelated to Brussels, or old empty archive boxes in retro style.

Publications prior to 2000 will be sold by the centimeter, i.e. they will be placed on top of each other and the height of the slice will be measured. Prices for post-2000 publications will be light and round?

A good way to renew or complete your library without breaking the bank!
