Libraries.
The serene sanctum of books where book lovers go to worship. All libraries are beautiful and make a book lover want to set up camp in them forever, but some libraries are notoriously famous for being so utterly gorgeous that instead of admiring the books you end up admiring the architecture.
Here are a few examples.
1. Old Library, Trinity College – Dublin, Ireland
That hallway seems to be calling out to me…
2. Unam Central Library – Mexico City, Mexico
The beautiful embellishments on the facade of the building give it an illusion of a face and it’s nothing less than breathtaking. They say all these embellishments individually carry a cultural meaning.
