Lucien Bernheim, a mining owner, donated money to the colonial administration in 1901 for the construction of a library. Built on the colonial model of the time, in the image of the pavilions of the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, the building is one of the most eloquent architectural testimonies of Nouméa. Within its walls are grouped 700,000 volumes, a large part of which deals with New Caledonia and the Pacific. Researchers also have at their disposal the collection of all the public newspapers of the territory.

Bernheim est un endroit un peu hors du temps dans le centre de Nouméa, un endroit où l'on peut flaner, s'installer à une table pour lire une revue, un livre ou utiliser les ordis mis à disposition. L'abonnement n'est pas très cher (dans les 3 000 francs par an, c'est à dire une vingtaine d'euros). Il y a un choix très important de livres, manuels, BD avec à la fois des ouvrages très anciens et régulièrement des nouveautés. On peut même avoir accès aux toutes nouvelles revues sur internet n'importe où, n'importe quand. La salle est très bien fréquentée et très zen.

This library open to public in 1905 is charming architecture from its colonial! I did not have the opportunity to visit the interior but I think that must be very interesting

Historic place in botanical gardens, with a very interesting architecture, a good collection comedy and a rather lively garden.

A small visit in the Eiffel (its manufacturer) is worth a look.
