Library Rotterdam & Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam are organizing the exhibition ‘Bibliophilia’. Books are not only enjoyable to read and beautiful to look at, books can also be inspiring in other ways.

The second‑year Art & Design students at the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam (GLR) prove it. With the project “Bibliophilia,” the students design a piece of “paper art” made from books. Each artwork depicts a scene from the student’s own life. Pages and letters quite literally come to life.

Starting Thursday, April 26, they will exhibit their designs on the Youth Floor on the 1st floor of the Central Library in Rotterdam.

The Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam and its knowledge institute, MediaCollege, together form the largest specialized educational institute for the world of media, design, and technology in the Netherlands and far beyond.
