Gerard Reve Collection: literature within the OBA

The Gerard Reve Collection is housed in OBA Oosterdok in Amsterdam. It is a special collection within the library, not an independent museum with its own ticket desk.

Books and documents

The collection description mentions books, letters, manuscripts, photographs and cuttings. These materials offer different ways into a writer’s career, from a published text to a personal document.

Display cases on the literary floor

Reve display cases on the second floor are mentioned. The selection on view may change; if you are coming for a particular manuscript or object, it is a good idea to have the presentation confirmed in advance.

Consulting is a separate step

The library being open does not mean that archive items are available without preparation. Research is subject to separate arrangements for requests, viewing and support from the OBA.

Before you go

Check the current presentation and request access to archive material in advance. Go to OBA Oosterdok; Museum Teigetje & Woelrat is a different Reve collection.
