Interior of the Bibliotheca Thysiana in Leiden, founded in 1653

The lawyer Johannes Thysius (1621–1653) left a legacy of 20,000 guilders for the construction of a public library to house his collection of books. Designed by the architect Arent van’s-Gravensande in the Dutch Classical style, the Bibliotheca Thysiana in Leiden is the only suriving 17th-century building in the Netherlands that was designed as a public library. It is now part of Leiden University Library.
