Impressive libraries

Top - University Club Library (New York), photo by Peter Bond.
Middle - Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (New Haven), photo by Lauren Manning.
Bottom - Admont Abbey Library (Austria), photo by Ognipensierovo.

I found these three in a group of fifteen photos at Pix Grove.

  1. The middle one looks like the liabry of the future, sort of.

  2. Amazing (somewhat visible in the picture): The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library (Yale) has no windows. Instead, the walls are made of squares of translucent marble.

  3. Reminiscent of an awesome post at David Byrne's journal: Sintra — A Mystical Home in the Clouds (library with mirrored floor is about 3/4th's of the way through the post)

  5. I like the Long Room library at Trinity College, Dublin best.
