The Bibliothèque Nationale de France (National Library of France) is the national research library of France, offering access to a vast collection of books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, music scores, and other documents. Its origins trace back to the royal library founded by Charles V in the 14th century. The current primary site, the François-Mitterrand Library, opened in 1996 and is notable for its modern architectural design featuring four glass towers radiating from a central core. Beyond its function as a repository of knowledge, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France actively hosts cultural events including concerts, exhibitions and lectures within its spaces, contributing to its role as a significant cultural institution in Paris.
