In celebration of the library tower renovation, we take a look back in time. Through various photos, you will get an idea of how studying has changed over the years. Photos from the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's give you a glimpse into VU Amsterdam's past. There are props in the room for you to embrace the atmosphere of the 70's and recreate these photos. Will you trade in your laptop for a typewriter and pen & paper again?
