It is a main object of the present invention to provide a volume hologram layer with good foil cutting property which is used for a volume hologram transfer foil and the like. The present invention provides a volume hologram layer wherein when the layer thickness thereof is 20 μm, breaking strength is in a range from 10 MPa to 30 MPa and breaking strain is in a range from 0.1% to 3% at 25° C., and breaking strength is in a range from 0.1 MPa to 1 MPa and breaking strain is in a range from 0.1% to 5% at 130° C., to thereby solve the above problem.
