Library and Archives
The museum is home to the largest library in Scandinavia dedicated to decorative arts and industrial design. Open to the general public, the library is at once a museum library, research library, and Danish central library within its field. Opening hours are Tuesday–Friday from 11–17. The library contains more than 1,000 journals. The latest issues of the 75 journals and magazines which the museum subscribes to can be read in the library's reading room.
The reading room of the library hosts public lectures on design-related topics which draw upon the collections in both the museum and the library.
The Danish Design Archive and the Poster Collection are located on the museum's first floor.

Howbeit eluding fallopian diagnosis,

From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
