More about this place
New York Public Library Schwarzman Building is a visit to the landmark research library on Fifth Avenue, from the marble entrance halls to its public exhibitions and architectural details.
Enter the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and follow the current visitor route. Reading rooms are working research spaces: access, tours and exhibition hours vary, and general entry does not guarantee access to every room. Allow one to two hours for public areas and exhibitions, including a tour if its schedule fits; reserve guided access separately when required.
Bryant Park, its holiday market and ice skating are separate Activities behind the library. Keep this visit for the building rather than treating it as a combined park stop.

Choose one or two rooms or exhibitions you most want to see, then check their visitor access individually. Entering the building does not necessarily give you access to every interior shown in photographs.
