The library was the most beautiful room in the building, a large, rectangular hall that also served as a meeting room. On the side where you entered the room, the whole wall was occupied by the bookcase. It was a characteristic part of the Jugendstil building and designed by architect Verheul. The bookcase contained the book collection of mr. Ingenegeren about insurance companies and insurers. The sometimes ancient books were about insurance, mathematics, economics and typography. After the demolition of the property, the bookcase ended up on the attic of the town hall. In the nineties the bookcase was placed in the Vitens gas station in Soestduinen. The bookcase has been stored in the Centraal Museum for a number of years. Now the bookcase was given a prominent place at a.s.r. Insurance company De Utrecht merged into a.s.r. The beautifully renovated building of a.s.r. is an appropriate place to restore the past.
On a regular basis, curator Sigrid Vegter organises exclusive tours, in which you can view the library cupboard. You can find the exact dates and register on the website www.kunstbijasr.nl
