5. Former reading room of the History Institute Library

When the building was the regional headquarters of the Workers’ Party, the room behind the door housed the Basic Party Unit gathering administrative personnel and staff. The venue was also a recreation area and in the 1970s a cinema; this is where party members held private screenings of e.g. movies rejected by censors. When the building was used by the AMU Faculty of History (1990–2015), the place was a reading room of the History Institute Library. Today, the premises are used by the AMU University Library.
