The library was the most beautiful room in the building, a large, rectangular room that also served as a meeting room. On the side of entering the room, the entire wall was taken up by the bookcase. It was a characteristic part of the Jugendstil building and designed by architect Verheul. The bookcase contained the collection of books on insurance companies and insurers from director Ingenegeren. The books, some of which centuries-old, were about insurance, arithmetic, economics and typography. After the building was demolished, the bookcase ended up in the town hall's attic. In the nineties the cabinet was placed in the Vitens Gas Station in Soestduinen. The bookcase has since been stored in the Centraal Museum's storage for a number of years. Today, the bookcase had been given a prominent place at a.s.r. Insurance company De Utrecht merged into a.s.r. and the beautifully renovated building of a.s.r. is an appropriate place to re-establish the past.
Curator Sigrid Vegter regularly organises exclusive tours, in which you can view bookcase. You can find the exact dates and register at www.kunstbijasr.nl
