Rare Books Room / 2F
The Rare Books Room holds some fundamental books from the fields of Natural Science and Philosophy, and the some art works of local artists.
The collection was arranged so that researchers can pick up the original works of the pioneers. In other words, researchers dealing with creative work can come back to the origins of their fields by touching the pioneers' classics.
It is our hope that the artists' works will help researchers to refine their sensitivity and provide them with inspiration.
